Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Jovens Colas integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor online therapy to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to clarify their values and develop practical skills to live in alignment with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete tools for managing symptoms like worry, low mood, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and helps clients find their own solutions to interpersonal and emotional challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jovens works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage caregiving or work demands, and access support from different locations. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to provide ongoing, practical help that fits each client's life.
