Therapeutic Approaches in Online Practice
Joye Hilton draws from evidence-based methods to tailor care to each client. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify personal values and commit to meaningful actions - it can be especially useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the therapist's nonjudgmental presence so clients feel understood and are supported in exploring their own solutions - this approach often helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and identity questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve coping - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and anger management.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Joye Hilton collaborates with each person to determine which strategies match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate what works and adjust the plan over time to create a good fit.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care from home, while traveling, or around busy schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of treatment and to use therapy in ways that fit everyday life.
