Therapeutic Approaches and Virtual Care
Dr. Pruet frequently draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify their values and build practical skills to live a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and challenges that involve avoidance or uncertainty.
He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a person-focused approach that emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients can explore their concerns at their own pace. This approach supports self-exploration around relationships, identity, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key method in his practice; CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Pruet works with each person to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt techniques from different therapies to create a personalized plan that fits the client’s situation.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to care. Clients can meet by video call for face-to-face conversation, use phone sessions when on the go, or choose live chat and text-based messaging for more frequent check-ins and convenience. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
