Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to commit to actions that align with personal values - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead, supporting self-exploration and self-directed growth; it can be especially helpful for building self-esteem and addressing relationship and identity concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical strategies and skills training, which is useful for conditions like panic, OCD, and persistent worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Petrus works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors methods so the chosen approaches fit the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet with a licensed professional. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and may also be conducted via live chat or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access support from different locations and at times that suit their schedules. This range of options helps make ongoing work more practical and adaptable to everyday life.
