Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Care and Support
David Rowland draws from evidence-informed methods to guide online work in ways that are practical and down-to-earth. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward a meaningful life - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress related to major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people recognize and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing symptoms like worry, low mood, sleep disruption, and anger. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented conversation style that strengthens a person’s motivation to change and can be useful when facing ambivalence about parenting changes, caregiving responsibilities, or lifestyle shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. David works collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts methods as the work evolves.
Online therapy with him can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving duties, and people living outside his state. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into real-life routines while working with a licensed professional who can tailor care to each situation.
