Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take values-guided actions. It is often helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes because it emphasizes acceptance and purposeful behavior.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing empathic, nonjudgmental support so clients can explore their feelings and discover their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, processing emotions, and strengthening the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Dr. Willis works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt techniques from these models to create a tailored plan that evolves as progress is made.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and accessibility across different situations. These options make it easier to maintain regular care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, allowing therapy to fit more naturally into everyday life.
