Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward what matters most while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, genuine regard, and collaboration, creating a supportive relationship that encourages self-directed growth and improved self-esteem. This approach often benefits those facing relationship challenges, identity questions, or major life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections among thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, offering practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and build coping strategies for depression, anxiety, and mood concerns.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Kay collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging let people fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to prioritize mental health without sacrificing daily responsibilities.
