Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Hourig uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as foundations for online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and choose actions aligned with their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and nonjudgmental listening, creating space for clients to explore feelings and goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress, making it helpful for panic, social anxiety, and stress-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Hourig is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, school, or work and to continue care when life circumstances change.
