How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by focusing on meaningful goals rather than trying to eliminate every difficult feeling.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT can help with sleep problems, anger, low mood, and anxiety by using practical strategies and experiments.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead. This approach supports people who need space to make sense of their experiences and to build confidence in their own choices.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work together. Connie will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try approaches that fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts focus over time based on what is helping and what is not.
