Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Estelle often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms, which can be effective for anxiety, low self-esteem, and coping after trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Estelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Estelle is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and ongoing access to support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, to continue care through transitions, and to receive timely guidance when challenges arise from day to day.
