Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Tom Lewis draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that helps individuals explore their own perspectives and build self-awareness - this approach often supports issues around relationships, identity, and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tom works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their goals, needs, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to engage in regular therapy from home or on the go, while still working with licensed professionals who tailor care to each individual's circumstances.
