Flexible evidence-informed approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges that involve avoidance or repeated unhelpful patterns.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening, empathy, and respect for the client's perspective, creating a supportive environment where clients lead the pace and focus of work. This approach is helpful for improving self-esteem, exploring identity, and strengthening personal agency.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skills training. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleeping difficulties, and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Preston Page works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He treats the selection of techniques as a shared decision between therapist and client, and may integrate elements from different approaches when that better serves the client's objectives.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people, including greater scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. Sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it possible to continue consistent work with licensed professionals even when in-person meetings are difficult. These options support ongoing care that adapts to each client's life and availability.
