Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to change behaviors and manage symptoms. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on accepting internal experiences while clarifying personal values and committing to actions that support a meaningful life - it can be helpful for managing distressing thoughts and building psychological flexibility. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and a collaborative relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead to support self-exploration and growth.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cely works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and needs. Together they explore techniques, adjust strategies over time, and prioritize what feels most effective for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to receive care, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make scheduling easier around work, family, or other commitments and allow clients to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Cely, use these formats to provide consistent support and to tailor sessions to each client’s circumstances.
