Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Linda Schmidt integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered Therapy into her online practice. ACT helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and patterns that interfere with daily life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating a space where clients feel heard and supported as they explore motivation, self-esteem, and decisions about career or relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Linda works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques and strategies best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access support from familiar surroundings while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual needs.
