Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with an LCSW

Dr. Wanda Boutte integrates evidence-informed methods to support clients in making meaningful change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and commit to actions that align with what matters most - it is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships formed early in life and how those patterns affect current connections; it can be especially helpful for intimacy-related issues, relationship conflict, and healing from abandonment or abuse. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for mood disorders, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and behavioral concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Boutte works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The therapist and client review progress and adapt strategies over time to ensure the best possible match.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to receive support from different locations. These formats allow ongoing, consistent work on goals while accommodating varying communication styles and daily rhythms.
