Integrating Therapeutic Approaches into Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often useful for issues like anxiety, depression, and life transitions where motivation and values-guided action matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness-based approaches teach present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can support emotion regulation, relapse prevention, and coping with difficult experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Candice collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps tailor care to what is most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and for engaging in therapy from different settings. These formats make it easier for people to access licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow therapists to use a mix of conversation, written exercises, and skills practice in ways that fit the client’s life and routine.
