Integrative Approaches and Online Support for Lasting Change
Karen blends several evidence-based approaches to meet practical needs and personal goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - a useful approach for anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often applied for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep and eating issues, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skill-building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting people who struggle with intense emotions, impulsive reactions, and relationship difficulties.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Karen, as a licensed professional, collaborates with each person to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy lives and to maintain continuity during transitions. These options support regular contact, timely problem-solving, and ongoing skill practice between sessions.
