Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn practical ways to act in line with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and ongoing struggles such as addiction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more constructive alternatives; it can be effective for stress, mood concerns, and coping skills development. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a supportive space where clients steer the pace and direction of their work, which can be particularly useful for building self-esteem and processing emotional experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Licensed professionals and therapists, including Richard, work collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and to adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care across distances. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from home or while traveling, choose the mode of contact that feels most comfortable, and schedule sessions with fewer logistical barriers.
