Therapeutic approaches and online care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take values-based actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships, exploring how early bonds influence current connections and helping improve communication, trust, and emotional safety in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client in finding their own solutions, which can be especially helpful for building self-esteem and navigating transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lynda Ketcham, as an LICSW, works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals when appropriate to identify the methods that best fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her style as therapy progresses.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or changing life circumstances. These formats allow therapists and clients to connect in ways that suit daily routines and comfort levels while supporting consistent therapeutic work.
