How CBT and Existential Methods Work Online

CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build different behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and social fears. Existential Therapy looks at values, meaning, and life choices. It helps when people feel stuck, question purpose, or face difficult transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bradley treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients decide which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. Together they will check what is helping and adjust the plan as needed.
