Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values - a practical approach for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns in relationships and how early connections influence current interactions - it can be helpful for relationship challenges, attachment issues, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve coping skills.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and Cynthia works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine what fits best based on each person s needs, goals, and preferences. This exploration is paced to the individual and adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone and can also include live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other commitments while allowing therapists to tailor the format to what helps each client engage most effectively.
