These methods guide people to notice thoughts and feelings, test helpful behavior changes, and make values-based choices. He pairs these tools with practical coaching around coping skills and decision points.

Dr. Griffith practices in Pennsylvania and accepts international clients. He invites people ready to take a first step to reach out, complete an intake process, and schedule sessions that match their needs and timing.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that match personal values. This can help with anxiety, stress, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and build better routines. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and creating a steady, nonjudgmental space so people can find their own solutions.

Choosing the best approach is part of the process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adjusts methods based on what works for the individual. This is a collaborative path where the client helps guide which techniques get emphasized.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to check in during a lunch break, use shorter sessions when needed, or focus on homework between meetings. Confirm the current session options and formats before booking so you know what will be available for scheduling.
