Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Roc uses several evidence-informed methods to guide online work in ways that are practical and collaborative. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward personal values - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, genuine listening, and supporting the client's own capacity for growth, making it a helpful frame when people need space to explore identity, relationships, or self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns with structured techniques and homework to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, commonly used for anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Roc works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That shared decision-making helps shape a tailored plan rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit around work, family, and geography. These options support consistent care, make it easier to attend regularly, and allow therapists and licensed professionals to adapt formats to the client's comfort and schedule.
