Online session options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Adan often uses Narrative Therapy to help people rework the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can make choices and patterns feel clearer. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, accepting space where a person’s priorities guide the conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes that reduce distress and build skills.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and adjust methods as you learn what works. The aim is to match techniques to your goals and your pace rather than pushing a fixed method.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and nonverbal cues, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can be easier for quick check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep ongoing momentum between meetings.
