How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience, helping them feel heard while they set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication when stress or anger are a problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Clifford will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as you make progress. The process is collaborative and aimed at what helps you in daily life.
