Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that align with their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and managing life transitions by combining mindfulness and goal-focused work.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape present patterns and offers ways to build more secure connections. This approach can be especially helpful for parenting concerns, relationship struggles, and issues linked to abandonment or attachment disruptions.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives. A therapist using this style creates space for self-exploration and supports clients in finding their own solutions to problems like low self-esteem, grief, or family conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Letha Olmos works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so the work feels practical and meaningful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care from different locations and fit sessions into busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support and to choose communication styles that feel most comfortable for each person.
