Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Elisa frequently integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and issues tied to life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing strategies to change them, which often helps with anxiety, anger, and patterns that contribute to addictions or eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship and supports clients in exploring their experiences at their own pace.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elisa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and the challenges they are facing, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Elisa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit sessions into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care, and use the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
