Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Deborah Bowe uses several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and accepting difficult thoughts and emotions so clients can take committed action toward meaningful goals - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical skills and structured exercises - it is often effective for depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, giving clients space to explore their experiences and discover their own solutions - it supports relationship issues, self-esteem work, and grief.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Licensed professionals and therapists work with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapt techniques so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage transportation or mobility constraints, and maintain continuity of care across different life stages. Many clients find that remote formats provide convenient, accessible ways to engage in consistent therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
