Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that reflect what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the client s own goals and values guide the work; this approach helps build self-understanding and resilience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to reduce unhelpful patterns and teach practical coping skills for issues like depression, anxiety, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore strategies and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to access care from different locations. These options support consistent engagement, timely check-ins, and a range of ways to communicate that can suit different comfort levels and practical needs.
