Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Joy Garrett integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. ACT helps people identify their values and build psychological flexibility so they can act in ways that matter to them - it is useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a nonjudgmental stance, supporting clients as they discover their own solutions and strengthen self-esteem and relationship skills. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaching practical skills to shift responses and behaviors, often benefiting depression, anxiety, and coping challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joy Garrett works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and respected in shaping their care.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during transitions, and connect from different locations while working with a therapist toward meaningful personal change.
