Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Angela Gardner

Angela Gardner integrates approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to meet different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and develop willingness to face difficult thoughts or feelings while taking meaningful action toward their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience by offering empathic, nonjudgmental listening to strengthen self-understanding and emotional resilience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Angela works collaboratively with each person to find what fits best. She and other licensed professionals can adapt techniques based on a client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances so therapy feels practical and respectful of individual pace.

Online therapy also adds flexibility and accessibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to engage from different locations and times. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy lives and varied routines.
