Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Emily frequently draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and taking action toward what matters most. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to change behaviors and improve mood. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, and coping with daily challenges. In addition, Emily incorporates Client-Centered Therapy techniques that emphasize empathetic listening and collaboration, creating a space where clients feel heard and supported as they explore their goals and priorities.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Emily collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure the approach feels useful and respectful of the individual.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people seeking flexibility and accessibility. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to connect with licensed professionals and therapists from locations that work for them, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain continuity during life changes. These options support regular engagement and make it easier to integrate therapy into everyday life.
