Evidence-informed approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and take committed action toward meaningful goals. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, unconditional positive regard, and letting the client set the pace and goals of therapy; this approach supports self-esteem, relationship concerns, and personal growth by creating a trusting, nonjudgmental space. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms by guiding the brain to process distressing experiences differently.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cindee works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time so treatment aligns with what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage transportation or geographic limits, and continue work during life transitions. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, accessible support while tailoring the format to each client's comfort and needs.
