Approaches that translate well to online work
Dr. Freda commonly combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and existential thinking. Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Existential therapy looks at values, meaning, and life choices to help people facing big transitions or questions about purpose.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then recommend methods to try. Sessions include agreed-upon actions and follow-ups so the work stays practical and focused on change.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and face-to-face interaction matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or to fit a break at work. Text and live chat offer brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules change.
