Online Therapeutic Approaches and How They Help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in identifying their values and taking practical steps toward them while learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions because it focuses on meaningful action rather than symptom elimination alone.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and the belief that the client is the expert on their own life. This approach helps people build self-understanding and self-direction, and it can be especially helpful for those seeking an affirming space to explore identity, relationships, and personal goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It can be effective for anxiety, depression, and challenges that benefit from skill-building and structured problem solving.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Katharine "Katie" Blum works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. They tailor sessions so the chosen approaches fit the client's pace and lived experience.
Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access care from home, work, or while traveling. These options allow for consistent support around scheduling constraints and can help people maintain momentum in therapy when in-person visits are not feasible.
