Approaches That Guide Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then move toward values-driven action - it is often used for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist helps the client explore their own goals and solutions, a strong fit for work on self-esteem, relationships, and identity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be effective for depression, anxiety, and coping with everyday challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joan collaborates with clients to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy unfolds to find the best fit.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to connect across distances. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver many evidence-informed interventions effectively through these formats, providing continuity of care while accommodating different communication styles and life demands.
