Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It is useful for coping with anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma by building psychological flexibility. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep problems by teaching practical skills to shift thinking and action. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines skill-building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Luretha works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from different locations. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to provide regular, focused support that integrates the chosen therapeutic approaches into each session.
