Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, avoidance, and issues related to life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like panic, social anxiety, and mood disturbances. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that supports self-exploration, self-acceptance, and personal growth, which can be helpful for concerns such as low self-esteem, shame, and relationship or communication difficulties.

Finding the best fit among these approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Christy collaborates with clients to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and current needs, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, support continuity during life transitions, and let people choose the format that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists to pursue meaningful change.
