Therapeutic approaches and online care
Christopher Simms integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered techniques into his online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so that clients feel heard and supported while they explore goals and solutions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christopher works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what the client wants to focus on.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access therapists and maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
