Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and build psychological flexibility through values-based action and acceptance strategies. It can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and persistent life challenges by shifting focus from avoidance to meaningful movement toward goals.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the relationship and the client's experience, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard. This approach supports people working through relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, grief, and emotional processing by providing a respectful, person-led environment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies and changes unhelpful thought and behavior patterns through structured techniques and skill-building. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching practical strategies for problem solving and mood management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Eileen "Bonnie" Hires works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals often combine elements of different therapies to tailor treatment to the individual.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access care from home or other locations. These formats let clients maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
