Therapeutic approaches and online support
Dr. McClain often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values, which can be useful for stress, grief, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, then suggest methods that fit. Together they adjust strategies over time based on what helps most.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. For practical concerns like bandwidth or camera use, the therapist can adapt session plans to the person’s needs so therapy fits into everyday life.
