Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with their values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel accepted and understood while exploring their goals and personal growth. It is well suited to building self-esteem and working through relationship or identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical strategies for problems such as depression, insomnia, anxiety, and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Simone will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This adjustment can happen over the first few sessions as goals and priorities become clearer.
Online therapy with Simone is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care from home or work and can help people access support without long commutes, allowing therapy to fit into busy or changing lives.
