Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care with Brenda Oliver

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages individuals to accept difficult thoughts and emotions while committing to actions that align with personal values. It is often used to address stress, anxiety, and challenging transitions by helping people clarify what matters most and take concrete steps toward those values.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers understanding and support so the individual can explore feelings and build self-confidence. This approach can be especially helpful for improving communication, motivation, and self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and mood. It is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and coping skills development.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as needed.

Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats support consistent treatment, easier scheduling, and greater access to licensed professionals and therapists for people with busy lives or limited local options.
