Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Francine Owens integrates several proven approaches to support clients in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful steps even when difficult thoughts or emotions arise; it often benefits those facing anxiety, stress, or life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing a warm, respectful, and non-judgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s pace and perspective, which can be especially helpful for building trust and addressing relationship or identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for depression, anxiety, and mood-related difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Owens works with clients to explore their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and together they determine which methods or combination of methods fit best for each stage of work.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, health issues, or geographic constraints. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support across different formats, helping clients access care in ways that fit their schedules and communication styles.
