Therapeutic Approaches Used in Online Care
MaKayla Walker commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing in her work. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward what matters most, which can be useful for anxiety and life transitions. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts and practical behavior changes, often supporting work on depression, stress, and self-esteem. Motivational Interviewing is a client-centered approach that helps people explore their motivation for change and build confidence to take steps forward, especially helpful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and MaKayla works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adapts techniques so the care aligns with what the client values and hopes to achieve.
Online therapy with MaKayla is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit busy schedules and life transitions. These options make it easier to access therapy from different locations and to choose the format that feels most comfortable, while maintaining regular contact with licensed professionals and therapists as part of ongoing care.
