Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Leslie M. Brown draws on several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to remote work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard to support self-exploration and personal growth - this approach often helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and emotional healing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured method for identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is effective for mood disorders, anxiety, and coping with everyday challenges.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leslie works with clients to explore which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques over time as the relationship and goals evolve.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care during life changes, and enable clients to engage in therapy in ways that feel most comfortable and practical for them.
