Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take committed action toward what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, persistent stress, and patterns that interfere with valued living.)Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and support. This approach is helpful when someone needs to explore identity, relationships, or personal values at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skills-building. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with coping or daily functioning.)
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Wendy Weston works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess what feels most helpful and adapt strategies over time to support meaningful change.
