Integrating Therapeutic Approaches in Online Care
Drauzin Kern commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in his work. ACT helps people clarify personal values and learn practical skills to accept difficult feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed early in life and how they influence current relationships, which can aid work on intimacy, trust, and communication. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing new, more adaptive ways of responding, which is effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Drauzin collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so therapy remains tailored and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, or travel and to access care across geographic boundaries. For many people these options increase consistency and convenience while preserving the therapeutic focus and support provided by licensed professionals and therapists.
