Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Ava Roush
Ava commonly uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action. This approach can be helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it emphasizes living in line with what matters most rather than eliminating unpleasant experiences.
She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and many common coping challenges. When emotion regulation and interpersonal intensity are central concerns, elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) are incorporated to teach skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ava works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines practical skill-building with attention to values and relationships so the plan fits the individual rather than expecting a one-size-fits-all solution.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life transitions, and provide support for clients who live in different places or have mobility or time constraints.
