Therapeutic approaches and the benefits of online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting dominated by them while clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and struggles around motivation and self-direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and symptoms related to obsessive or compulsive thinking.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client’s own capacity for growth. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, improving communication, and navigating relationship and life transitions.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Lisa works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility concerns and allow people to maintain continuity of care from their own communities while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
