Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people acknowledge difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values to guide meaningful action. It is useful for coping with anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most rather than on eliminating discomfort. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathetic listening and nonjudgmental support so individuals can explore their experience, strengthen self-understanding, and build confidence; it often helps with self-esteem and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Dr. G​i​a​n​e​t​t​a​ "Gina" Feistel collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or manage care from home. These formats offer greater flexibility and accessibility, allowing licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent support for relationship issues, career changes, chronic health challenges, and other concerns without requiring in-person visits.
