Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Ellen Thornton-Love uses therapeutic methods that adapt well to remote sessions and practical skill-building. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify their values and take committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and ongoing life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist reflects and supports the client's own insights and strengths - this approach can help when someone needs empathy and clarity around personal challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through structured exercises and problem-solving, which can be effective for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stressful situations.Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process and typically happens collaboratively. Ellen works with clients to consider their goals, preferences, and responses to different strategies so the plan evolves as needed with input from the client and guidance from licensed professionals and therapists.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and use the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person.
