Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jeffrey Barrett commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into his online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility so they can take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a collaborative relationship in which the therapist supports the client’s own capacity for growth - it works well for building self-esteem, processing grief, and improving relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jeffrey works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques from different models to create a tailored plan rather than applying a single rigid method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility in how people access care. Sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage mobility or caregiving constraints, and maintain continuity of care from different locations. This variety of options helps licensed professionals and therapists meet clients where they are and support progress in ways that suit each individual.
