Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care
William "Bill" Blundell uses several evidence-informed approaches tailored to individual needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-guided action and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful change, which can help with grief, chronic stress, and life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, and can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and coping with stressors.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. He works with clients and other licensed professionals to determine which methods best fit a person’s goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting strategies as progress is made. He also notes that exposure-based work for OCD can be more challenging in remote formats, though he remains committed to supporting clients with OCD where appropriate.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility limitations. These formats make regular therapy more accessible, allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care across different settings, and provide multiple ways to communicate so that therapy can fit into a client’s life.
