Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Henry Burciaga draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values to build a meaningful life, and it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, creating space for clients to explore their experience and increase self-understanding. CBT focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns of thinking.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Henry collaborates with each person to identify methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques across these approaches to fit the individual’s situation rather than relying on a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to engage in care from different locations and at varying levels of immediacy. This range of options helps make therapy more accessible and easier to integrate into daily life while maintaining the collaborative relationship between licensed professionals and the people they serve.
