How Hiram’s approaches translate to online work
Hiram describes his practice as integrative, combining cognitive behavioral ideas with person-centered listening and mindfulness techniques. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying helpful and unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Person-centered methods create space for a person to tell their story and feel heard, which can help with identity and relationship concerns. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and improve focus.Choosing the best approach is collaborative. Hiram will talk with each person about their goals and daily life, then suggest a mix of methods to try. He checks in over time and adjusts methods based on what the person finds helpful and what fits their routine.
