How Wayne’s approaches work online

Wayne often combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can find their own answers. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

He also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. That approach helps people weigh options, strengthen motivation, and set realistic next steps. Together these methods aim to make therapy practical and focused on daily life challenges like addiction, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Wayne works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, preferences, and needs. He will check in and adjust the plan as work progresses so therapy stays useful and relevant.
