Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Judy Ricci uses evidence-based methods to address anxiety, depression, and health-related challenges beginning with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with day-to-day symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps clients clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility, which can support adjustment to chronic health issues and persistent mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy involves practices that increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, aiding stress management and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Ricci works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, and she adjusts techniques over time so treatment fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which helps integrate care into busy schedules and makes it easier to maintain continuity of treatment. Many clients find that remote work supports consistent progress while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to focus interventions that meet individual needs.
