How his approaches work online
Dr. Roux uses Narrative Therapy to help people retell and reshape the stories that guide their choices. That work can be helpful for life transitions, grief, identity questions, and relationship challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and routines to reduce anxiety and depression and improve day-to-day coping. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clear, small goals and practical steps to move forward from a stuck place.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together the therapist and client try an approach, review progress, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy fits the person's life and aims.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
