Approach and convenience for online parenting and relationship work
Dr. Meyers uses existential therapy to invite conversations about meaning, values, and what matters most in relationships and parenting. This approach helps when people want to understand their choices and life direction better.He also uses motivational interviewing to help people strengthen their own reasons for change. That method is useful for building motivation around parenting goals, work changes, or healthier relationship habits. Solution-focused therapy is used to identify practical next steps and short-term goals that can be tested between sessions.
Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try an approach, and adjust based on what works for you. Clients and the therapist choose techniques together rather than following a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone calls can fit into a busy day, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging works well for short updates or reminders. These options make it easier to have regular sessions around parenting schedules, work, and other commitments.
