How his approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room and builds on what they already know about themselves. Sessions focus on listening, understanding, and following the client's priorities so they can clarify goals and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It uses simple, practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and change habits that get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. White treats decisions about method as collaborative. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try options that match what they want to accomplish.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options when you book. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, childcare, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce the need for travel time, or avoid video when that feels better. Ask about formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so the sessions match your day-to-day needs.
