Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Anna Bailey uses several evidence-informed approaches to support people in making meaningful changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters most to a person and building psychological flexibility so they can live in line with their values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, often supporting work on anxiety, depression, and stress through practical, skills-based exercises. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment attention and nonjudgmental awareness, which can reduce reactivity and improve coping with chronic stress or emotional pain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Anna works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She blends methods as appropriate and revisits the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and receive consistent support from a therapist without the need for in-person visits.
