Evidence-Based Approaches for Remote Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take small actions aligned with those values. It combines acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings with practical steps toward a meaningful life - which can be helpful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. The therapist listens deeply and supports self-exploration, which often helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and emotional processing.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches concrete skills to change how people react to stress and mood changes. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday stress.
Daphne approaches the choice of method as a collaborative process - she will work with each person to identify the best fit based on their goals, needs, and preferences. Finding the right combination of techniques is part of the therapeutic plan and can evolve over time.
Online therapy with Daphne offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
