Therapeutic approaches and online support
Dr. Smith draws from several established approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify personal values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to problems and working to develop more helpful habits; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with challenging situations. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the client's own process of self-understanding and growth - this approach can be useful for relationship concerns and building self-direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Smith works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current needs. Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to connect with licensed professionals from different locations, offering flexibility in scheduling and ways to engage that suit varied lifestyles and comfort levels.
