Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Shay
Dr. Shay draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take action that aligns with their values - an approach often used for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to shift those patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with daily challenges.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Shay works with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and may blend techniques from different models to meet individual needs. This shared decision making helps shape treatment plans that feel relevant and achievable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to connect from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver therapy that is accessible, consistent, and focused on practical outcomes for the client.
