Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical and skills-based, often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many day-to-day struggles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes mindful awareness and values-driven action - it supports people in accepting difficult feelings while committing to meaningful life directions. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past relationships and early experiences influence current emotions and patterns, helping to surface deeper themes that can unblock change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. April Bennett works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, on the phone, by live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access regular care around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations, and allow therapists and licensed professionals to tailor scheduling and communication to what works best for each person.
