Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take active steps toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and challenges related to life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and a nonjudgmental relationship, giving clients space to explore feelings while the therapist offers understanding and support. This approach often benefits those working through relationship issues, grief, or self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, panic, and mood difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Terri Wilkens works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may combine elements from different approaches to fit the individual situation.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access care from home or other locations. These formats allow continuity of support and can be adapted to the pace and communication style that works best for each client.
