Therapeutic approaches and online care with Dr. Rathmann



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while identifying values-based actions to move forward. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where avoidance has become limiting.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space in which the client’s own experience guides the pace and direction of work. This approach supports self-exploration and can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and improving relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress and can provide concrete strategies for symptom relief and problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Rathmann works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time so therapy stays responsive and relevant.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options increase scheduling flexibility and allow clients to receive consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without added travel, helping maintain continuity of care across changes in routine.
