Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and taking steps toward a meaningful life. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes by emphasizing committed action guided by what matters most to the individual.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, offering a way to address intimacy issues, relationship struggles, and feelings related to abandonment by strengthening healthier relational patterns.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-directive environment where the client leads the pace of work and the therapist offers understanding and support. This approach can be helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating personal growth.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Carmen will work collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods accordingly, helping to identify which approaches fit best.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility and accessibility, allowing sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
