Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by fostering psychological flexibility and purposeful behavior.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the client's own capacity for growth. This approach is well suited to people seeking an empathetic space to process grief, relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT offers practical tools to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day challenges by teaching skills for problem-solving and emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work Nancy offers. She partners with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then blends methods to create a tailored plan. This collaborative process helps determine which strategies are most helpful over time.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, mobility limits, or those living far from in-person services. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access consistent support from licensed professionals, while fitting therapy into everyday life.
