Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts or feelings while taking committed steps toward meaningful goals, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-based approach that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches practical strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier coping responses, and is often used for depression, anxiety, and behavioral concerns.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client’s own problem-solving and growth. This approach can be especially supportive for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating emotional challenges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Celena works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and therapy can also proceed through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit treatment into a busy schedule, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are not possible.
