How Floyd’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and values. The therapist listens closely and helps people find their own solutions to problems like low self-esteem or relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or anger.

Trauma-Focused Therapy works with memories and reactions tied to past events. It aims to reduce the ongoing impact of those events so daily life is less disrupted.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Floyd will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Therapy can change course over time as the work progresses.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what timing and session length will work best for your routine.
