Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lowell Wallace commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as foundational approaches. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment, helping the person explore their values and choices while the therapist supports goal setting and personal growth. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

He also draws on motivational interviewing to help people strengthen their own motivation for change by exploring ambivalence in a respectful, nonconfrontational way. Together these approaches aim to build insight, practical skills, and momentum for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wallace works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers practical benefits for this collaborative work - sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care across changing circumstances.
