Therapeutic approaches and online care with Eguenel Louis

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where the client leads the work and the therapist offers empathy and support. This approach helps people who need space to explore identity, relationships, and self-worth while building motivation for change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with more constructive ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and coping with stressors related to addiction and daily life.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-directed method that strengthens a person's motivation to change by exploring ambivalence and aligning goals with personal values. It is especially useful for substance use, readiness for change, and building commitment to recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Eguenel works collaboratively with each person to tailor techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences. He will help determine which methods fit best and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
