Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Timothy Rudder draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered therapy to guide remote work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning, often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping skills. Client-Centered therapy offers empathetic, non-directive support that helps people feel heard and develop their own solutions, useful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Timothy works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can be conducted by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. These options increase accessibility for athletes, working adults, and others who benefit from more adaptable ways to engage with licensed professionals and therapists.
