Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Rochelle Bard integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet a range of needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values, accept difficult emotions, and take committed steps toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and creating a nonjudgmental space where clients lead the conversation and discover their own solutions - it is especially helpful for building self-esteem and strengthening relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning, often supporting work with trauma responses, mood concerns, and practical coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rochelle collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds in a shared, client-centered way.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls enable face-to-face connection from home, phone sessions provide an accessible option when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of distance.
