Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and issues with motivation or self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often applied to anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and practical coping skills for everyday challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a nonjudgmental space where clients lead the conversation; this approach supports healing around relationship issues, self-image, and personal growth.
Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Candyce works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as those needs change. Licensed professionals and therapists aim to tailor care so clients feel understood and involved in planning their work together.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access consistent support from a licensed professional without needing to travel.
