Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cynthia commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck in them. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration - the therapist follows the client’s lead and creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space to explore concerns and personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cynthia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and workable for the individual.

Online therapy can make these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, reduce barriers related to travel, and allow clients to engage in therapy in a format that fits their daily life and responsibilities.
