How these approaches translate to online therapy

Trae uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. That approach breaks problems into manageable parts and gives clear exercises to practice between sessions, which can work well in video or messaging formats.

Solution-Focused Therapy is also central to his style. It concentrates on small, practical changes and on what is already working. Clients and therapist set short-term goals and test simple strategies that fit daily life, making progress easy to track online.

Trae approaches trauma with Trauma-Focused Therapy when needed, helping people process painful memories and build coping skills. Work in this area can include pacing, grounding techniques, and gradual exposure to reduce reactivity over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that match goals, personal history, and day-to-day demands. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to parenting concerns, relationship goals, or stress management needs.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and school routines.
