Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for depression, anxiety, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a supportive space where clients lead the pace of change - it is particularly helpful for building self-esteem and strengthening relationships.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work, and Cara collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques rather than insisting on a single model, and clients are partners in selecting what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
