Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
MyNiqua Cotton uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while building practical behavioral changes, and it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles with motivation.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-based, and it can support work on anxiety, mood concerns, relationship challenges, and coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; MyNiqua Cotton works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as those needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels.
