Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then choose actions that reflect their values. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, coping with life changes, and patterns that keep someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, trauma-related distress, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance so clients can explore their experience and find their own solutions; it supports growth in self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions.
Shirley works collaboratively to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits each person's needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic style is part of the process, and she partners with clients to tailor care over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Shirley provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can choose the format that feels most accessible. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to receive support from licensed professionals and therapists without the need to travel to an office.
