Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that get in the way of meaningful living. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening, acceptance, and creating a supportive relationship so clients can explore their experience and find their own solutions - this approach is helpful for relationship challenges, self-esteem, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to change them, often benefiting those coping with panic, mood disorders, and day-to-day anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and David collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so care feels relevant and effective for the individual's circumstances.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility in scheduling and allow people to engage in therapy from their own environment. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistency in care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access licensed professionals from different locations within the same state.
