Therapeutic approaches and what online therapy offers
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with those values. It combines acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings with practical steps toward meaningful goals, often supporting work on anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. By learning skills to reframe thoughts and try new behaviors, clients often gain tools for managing stress, low mood, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the center of care, using empathy and nonjudgmental listening to foster self-exploration and personal growth.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dwanne Clayton works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will adapt techniques and priorities as progress unfolds to ensure the approach fits the individual.
Online therapy with Dwanne is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without requiring travel.
