Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Laurence Scappa draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support people in online sessions. ACT helps people build psychological flexibility by clarifying personal values and taking committed action despite difficult thoughts or feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that keep people stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and the therapeutic relationship to help clients explore their experiences and strengthen self-understanding - it is often helpful for relationship and intimacy concerns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, making it useful for anxiety, compulsions, and mood-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laurence works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Laurence is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options that fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, allowing people to engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily lives.
