Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dennisha Pauley uses a blend of practical, evidence-informed methods to support clients in an online setting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it a common choice for anxiety, depression, and sleep concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist offers empathy and support while clients lead the pace and focus of work.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dennisha collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time, combining elements from different approaches when that best serves progress.
Online therapy with Dennisha is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, geographic constraints, and varying comfort levels with communication. These options make it easier for clients to maintain continuity of care and access support in ways that fit their daily lives.
