How these approaches guide online sessions

Dr. Miller commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to shape his work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients feel heard so they can clarify what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what's offered. Many people value online options because sessions can fit more easily into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Online work can make it easier to maintain momentum between appointments and to use tools from CBT or motivational interviewing in real life as issues arise.
