Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Megan draws on a blend of approaches that translate well to remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and commit to actions that align with what matters to them while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT offers concrete tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders through structured exercises and skill-building.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a collaborative relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead. This approach helps create a supportive space for exploring relationship concerns, attachment issues, guilt, and self-worth.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Licensed professionals work collaboratively with clients to choose and adapt methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to improve fit and effectiveness.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access therapists from home or work. This accessibility allows therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care while using the same evidence-informed techniques that guide in-person work.
