Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Valerie Wolfe integrates several well-established approaches to help clients address stress, emotional pain, and relationship difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values, accept difficult emotions without avoidance, and take committed steps toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that maintain distress; it is often effective for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance, which can help with intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Wolfe works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the plan over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care across life changes, while still providing access to skilled therapists and consistent support.
