Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Stephen Sutton often draws on client-centered therapy, mindfulness therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when working with clients online. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship that helps people explore their values and build self-trust - it is useful for concerns like self-esteem, relationship and communication issues, and life transitions. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and compassionate attention to thoughts and feelings, which can reduce reactivity and assist with stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. ACT blends acceptance strategies with values-based action to help clients move toward meaningful goals even in the presence of uncomfortable thoughts and emotions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stephen tailors methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and he works together with clients to try techniques, evaluate what helps, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone appointments, and additional support can come through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while preserving the collaborative therapeutic relationship.
