Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Counseling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to clarify personal values and take committed actions even in the presence of difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and support, creating space for clients to explore identity, relationships, and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change them, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Crystal works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and will tailor techniques from these approaches to fit the client’s situation. This collaborative planning helps determine which strategies to prioritize over the course of therapy.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins can happen through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity of care across different settings, and access licensed professionals without travel obstacles.
