Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and accept difficult thoughts or feelings while committing to actions that support a meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and difficult life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-discovery - it is often helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and improving communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building - it is commonly used for stress, depression, and anxiety.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Delores works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences.
