Approaches in Online Therapy and How They Help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, invites clients to clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and helping people move forward despite ongoing challenges.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where the therapist follows the client’s lead, listens deeply, and supports self-directed growth. This approach is particularly helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and building confidence.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-world experiments to change mood and behavior. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Megan collaborates with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists from home or while on the go, helping clients maintain momentum in their work toward wellbeing.
