Therapeutic Approaches and How Online Therapy Helps



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then to commit to actions that reflect their values. This approach can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes by promoting psychological flexibility and purposeful action.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and experimenting with new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or stress-related concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, empathetic relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead and helps create a trusting space for exploration. This approach suits people seeking acceptance, validation, and collaborative goal setting.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lindsey works collaboratively with clients to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and to choose methods that fit their situation. The plan can evolve as therapy progresses so clients feel involved in decisions about their care.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone and options for live chat or text-based messaging allow therapy to fit into busy schedules and different life circumstances. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and use communication styles that work best for each person.
