Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Dr. Hughes draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients in different ways. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed and focuses on taking meaningful actions based on personal values - it can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and coping with change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can explore their feelings and build self-understanding - this approach often supports work on self-esteem and relational concerns. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can ease symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Hughes works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work stays relevant and effective for the individual.
