Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges because it emphasizes flexibility and committed steps toward what matters most.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early emotional bonds. It can help clients explore how attachment styles shape current intimacy, communication, and trust issues and supports building more secure connections.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often effective for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes by creating concrete strategies for symptom reduction and problem solving.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Heather Stephens collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, connect from different locations within Texas, and maintain continuity of care when life gets hectic.
