Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying what matters most to them and taking committed action toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions because it emphasizes meaningful goals rather than symptom elimination alone.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, frequently used for anxiety, depression, panic, and other mood-related concerns to develop coping strategies and measurable progress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and patterns that lead to repeated crises.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Linda Thomas and other licensed professionals will work with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine approaches to match the situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, address geographic barriers, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.
