Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify personal values and take small, meaningful steps toward a more engaged life. ACT can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating major life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating; by exploring attachment needs and interpersonal dynamics, this approach supports healing from abandonment, trust issues, and relational wounds. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's pace, helping build self-understanding and self-compassion while addressing issues like self-esteem and life direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Karen Phillips collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and needs. She works with clients to try techniques, evaluate progress, and adjust the plan together.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule care around work, family, and travel. These remote options increase accessibility for people in different locations and allow ongoing support between in-person visits, while still enabling active, collaborative work with licensed professionals and therapists.
