Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Lori Montross commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods to support online clients. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical skills to change them; it is often applied for mood and anxiety concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities to foster self-understanding and growth.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Montross works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility and accessibility for many people, allowing therapy to fit work, family, and health demands. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across life changes and to engage in therapy from locations that are convenient for the client.
