Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take meaningful action in line with their values. It can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and persistent mood-related struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance that lets clients lead the pace of exploration; this approach supports self-esteem, self-love, and personal discovery. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and gently shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools that often help with anxiety, depression, anger, and social anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adapt strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to create a tailored plan.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and access, making it easier to continue work around busy lives or caregiving responsibilities. These formats also allow therapists to use the same core techniques across different communication styles so that support can fit into varied routines and contexts.
