How Ken's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Ken uses cognitive behavioral approaches and narrative methods that translate well to conversation-based sessions. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to see if they help with anxiety, panic, anger, or depression. Narrative work looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those stories to open up new choices.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ken will talk with each person about their goals, concerns, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
If you plan to use online therapy, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Others prefer longer sessions for deeper work. The therapist will help match session length and style to practical needs and therapeutic goals.
