Flexible therapeutic approaches for remote care
Dr. Rhonda Carter integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can support work on anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on committed steps toward what matters most. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of stress, mood concerns, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy is another cornerstone of her approach, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and are able to set their own goals for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Carter works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting interventions over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access care around work, family, or mobility limitations. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support and skill-building from a distance while accommodating varied schedules and communication preferences.
