Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Roy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach he uses involves identifying unhelpful patterns and testing new behaviors in everyday life; this helps with relationship conflicts, parenting stress, and anxiety by making attempts and adjustments small and manageable. Another approach centers on attachment and connection work, helping people understand how early bonds affect present relationships and teaching different ways to relate when stress or separation is present.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a participant prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick problem-solving, or when writing feels like the best way to reflect. These formats make scheduling more flexible and let people keep therapy consistent around work and family life.
