Therapeutic Approaches and the Convenience of Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages individuals to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of meaningful living. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the pace of change and the therapist reflects empathy and understanding - this approach is particularly helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and processing life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other common issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michael Rhine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessing care. Video calls and phone sessions allow for face-to-face conversation from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible options for shorter check-ins or for those who prefer written communication. These formats increase accessibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to individualized treatment.
