How Dr. Bullock Uses Practical Therapies Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps them set meaningful, realistic goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses simple exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits that reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Bullock will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily routines to pick methods that fit. The plan can change over time as progress and needs shift, and the therapist checks in regularly to make sure the work remains useful.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports steady follow-up for recovery maintenance, homework review, and goal tracking without changing a client's day too much.
