Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Mandy integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve functioning; it can be effective for mood and anxiety concerns, sleep difficulties, and problematic coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, validation, and a collaborative relationship so clients can explore identity, self-esteem, and relationship concerns at their own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mandy works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to consider symptoms, goals, and personal preferences and will adjust techniques over time to find what fits best for each person.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and lifestyles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and choose communication styles that feel most comfortable while working with therapists.
