Approaches and Online Care with Annie Allen
Annie integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and a client-centered approach in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them while clarifying values to guide meaningful action; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches practical strategies to change them, often benefiting conditions like anxiety, depression, and obsessive concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating a respectful space where the client’s experience and choices drive the pace and focus of care.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Annie partners with clients to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She works collaboratively to adjust methods over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for each person.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care during life changes, reduce travel time, and allow clients to engage with licensed professionals from locations that work for them.
