Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and learn practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and helps clients explore their own solutions, making it a strong fit for concerns about relationships, self-esteem, and adjustment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and it can be effective for depression, anxiety, and many everyday challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Annie collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and approachable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, while still working with licensed professionals who tailor treatment to each client.
