Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Rita Dellatore uses evidence-informed approaches to help clients identify meaningful changes and develop practical skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward a more meaningful life - it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress related to life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, offering a supportive space where the client’s own goals guide the work and self-understanding grows over time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rita works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts them as progress unfolds so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from a distance, and integrate therapy into a busy life.
