Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful action - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationship patterns influence current interactions and emotional responses, making it a helpful approach for relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, and attachment difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be effective for depression, anxiety, trauma responses, and many daily stressors.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Okose works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques from different models as appropriate. Licensed professionals often blend approaches to create individualized plans that reflect each person’s situation.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives and diverse circumstances. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access consistent care with greater scheduling flexibility and reduced travel time. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of therapy, try different session formats, and find an arrangement that supports long-term progress with a licensed therapist.
