Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Ann Bodensteiner uses clinical approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide her work online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then move toward actions that match their values - it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where clients explore their own goals and solutions, which is especially useful for self-esteem, relationship, and identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also part of her toolkit, offering practical skills to identify unhelpful thought patterns and change behaviors related to stress, mood, and habits.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ann collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps tailor treatment to individual circumstances rather than applying a single fixed method.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or mobility constraints and to continue care from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver evidence-informed therapy while supporting clients in building coping skills and working toward their goals.
