Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Angela integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then clarify personal values and take meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental stance, creating space for clients to lead the pace of change and explore what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Angela works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress and circumstances evolve. Licensed professionals and therapists aim to match strategies to each person's situation so care feels relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone conversations, and supplemental communication may occur through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent support around work, family, or mobility constraints and help maintain continuity of care when life changes occur.
