Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to life
Helen often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered Therapy, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help people address emotional pain and practical challenges. ACT encourages acceptance of difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life - it can be helpful for anxiety, chronic stress, and coping with loss. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental relationship so clients feel heard and supported as they explore their experiences and choices. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety and improving daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Helen collaborates with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time so therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers flexible access to these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during transitions, and maintain consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location within the state.
