Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Max Higa
Max integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into his online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and use acceptance and mindfulness strategies to reduce the impact of painful thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and creating a nonjudgmental space so clients can explore feelings and move toward self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors and replace them with more adaptive strategies - it is commonly used for mood and anxiety concerns and practical coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Max works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. He emphasizes shared decision making so therapy reflects the client’s priorities.
Online sessions through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who may find in-person meetings difficult. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to offer consistent, accessible support and make it easier to maintain continuity of care between sessions.
