Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and committing to actions that align with those values. It can help people who are struggling with persistent worry, life transitions, or a sense of meaninglessness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to one’s experience, supporting emotional regulation and stress reduction.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore what feels most useful, tailoring methods to the client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances rather than prescribing a single path.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility limits, and they allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support without requiring in-person visits.
