Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to clarify personal values and take committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, life transitions, and struggles with motivation or meaning.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current bonds and emotional responses - useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and build practical coping skills. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges where thinking patterns and behaviors can be adjusted for better outcomes.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kerre works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She blends methods as needed and invites clients to give feedback so the plan evolves with their progress.
Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes or travel, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while still receiving structured clinical support.
