Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages clients to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take actions that align with personal values - it is often used when people face anxiety, stress, or ongoing life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then developing practical skills to change those patterns - it is commonly applied to anxiety, low mood, and behaviors that maintain addiction or relationship difficulty. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist supports the client in exploring experiences and finding their own solutions - this approach can be particularly helpful for processing grief, improving communication, and building self-esteem.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marcel works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach as progress unfolds. The client and therapist make decisions together about techniques and focus areas.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy life or to access therapists from different locations. These options support continuity of care and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic support in ways that suit each client's schedule and communication style.
