Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions because it emphasizes purposeful living rather than eliminating all uncomfortable emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy centers on an empathic, non-judgmental relationship in which the therapist supports the client's own capacity for growth, which can be especially helpful for building self-esteem and improving relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Connie works with clients to explore what fits best based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and useful.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules, mobility needs, and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapeutic support from home or other convenient locations.
