Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take action toward a more meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that feel stuck because it emphasizes values-based change and practical steps.
Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the work, offering a supportive, empathetic environment where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps strengthen self-understanding and personal agency. This approach suits those who want a collaborative, respectful space to explore choices and emotions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It provides concrete skills for managing symptoms like worry, low mood, and impulsive actions, and can be paired with other methods when needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joshua will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and easier access to care. Sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing therapy to fit into busy lives, reduce travel time, and make consistent support more attainable for many people.
