Approaches and Online Care for Personal Growth
Carrie Melton draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients in online formats. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and respect for each person’s experience, creating space for self-exploration and emotional healing, which often supports relationship and identity work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the clinical process, and Carrie collaborates with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques and pacing based on what works for the individual, making treatment a shared effort.
Online therapy with Carrie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, school, or other responsibilities, and they allow therapists and clients to focus on practical progress from locations that work for them.
