Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Laura Drucker draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people acknowledge difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying actions that align with their values, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance so clients feel heard and can explore goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical strategies to change patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, and coping difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work, and Laura collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the treatment plan remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible options for connecting with licensed professionals. Laura provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier around work, family, and other commitments. These formats support continuity of care and make it possible for clients to engage in therapy from home or other convenient locations while working with an experienced therapist.
