Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Leslie Sakow draws on several evidence-informed approaches to help people navigate emotional challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to clarify personal values and take committed action, while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - this approach can support those facing anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve coping, making it useful for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Leslie collaborates with each person to explore which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure care feels relevant and usable.
Online therapy with Leslie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it simpler to access regular support from licensed professionals and to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
