Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and learn practical skills to accept difficult thoughts while taking action toward a meaningful life. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and persistent avoidance patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational experiences shape current attachment styles and relationship dynamics, which can be especially helpful for intimacy, family conflict, and abandonment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Cole works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals will tailor interventions and adjust the plan over time so treatment remains relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility to access care from home or other convenient locations through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and engage in therapy in formats that feel most comfortable for each individual.
