Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Patricia Frueh commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with mindfulness practice, when working with clients online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility - it is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it can help with intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and patterns of impulsive behavior. Mindfulness practice supports present-moment awareness and calm, and is often woven into other approaches to reduce reactivity and increase focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Frueh works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review options and adjust strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver structured, research-informed interventions while accommodating varied lifestyles and accessibility needs.
