Integrative therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people build psychological flexibility by clarifying values and learning practical ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck in them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, depression and coping with life changes.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client is seen as the expert on their own experience. Through empathetic listening and genuine engagement, this approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem and emotional processing.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical skills for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression and other common difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. David draws on these methods and will work with clients to determine which combination best matches their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or care responsibilities. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access regular support without travel, and try different modes of communication to suit comfort and practical needs while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
