Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Kyle Short integrates several evidence-informed approaches into his online work to meet a range of needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and adapting to life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for each person's experience, creating a supportive environment for exploring self-esteem, relationship concerns, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical skills to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and compulsive problems.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kyle works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and he adjusts techniques as progress unfolds. Online sessions can make that collaboration more accessible by offering multiple formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so clients can choose what fits their schedule and comfort level. These options support continuity of care and flexible access to licensed professionals who tailor strategies to each person's situation.
