Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps clients clarify personal values and learn skills for accepting difficult emotions while taking meaningful action toward goals; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, commonly used for depression, anxiety, panic, and obsessive-compulsive concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships to improve connection and resolve recurring conflicts, making it a helpful option for couples and relationship issues.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laura works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from different modalities to create a personalized plan rather than relying on a single method.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel barriers, and maintain continuity of care across locations. These formats offer flexibility in pace and frequency, allowing therapists and clients to choose the mode of communication that best supports the work they are doing together.
