Therapeutic approaches and online care with a licensed professional
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when unwanted thoughts or feelings arise. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and patterns that keep someone stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and build practical coping skills, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, and many everyday challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships. It is often applied when emotions or impulsive behaviors interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Vincent works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into a busy life or reach care from different locations. These formats help maintain continuity of care and allow therapists and clients to work together in ways that match comfort and schedule needs.
