Therapeutic approaches for effective online care
Leah integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. ACT helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most to them and taking steps toward those values - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental listening stance to create a trusting space for exploration and healing - it suits relationship concerns, grief, and self-esteem work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and sleep difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Leah works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for those balancing work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor sessions to individual concerns.
