Therapeutic approaches for online care
Heather Rink-Rosas integrates several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns so clients can reduce distress and develop practical coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult internal experiences, and take committed action toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaborative understanding to create a trusting therapeutic relationship that supports exploration and growth.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather works with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment feels appropriate and effective for each individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy lives. For many people, the convenience of remote sessions increases accessibility and consistency, while licensed professionals and therapists use these formats to deliver structured, goal-oriented support.
