Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Dr. Willey draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship that helps clients explore their values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learn practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to clarify what matters most to them and to take committed action toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Willey collaborates with clients and other licensed professionals to determine which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, manage appointments across locations, and maintain continuity during life transitions. These options allow therapists to deliver consistent, evidence-informed support while accommodating practical needs and communication preferences.
