Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Counseling
Octavius uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values. ACT emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while building a meaningful life, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.
He also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with more adaptive strategies. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday challenges.
Additionally, Octavius draws on Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship that prioritizes the client’s perspective and strengths. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating relationship or identity concerns.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Octavius works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts interventions to fit each person’s situation and pace.
Online therapy with Octavius offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations while keeping the focus on practical, effective care.
