Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Robyn Petersen integrates several practical approaches to support clients through life’s challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and develop willingness to face difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and adjustment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching concrete skills to change them, which can help with depression, anxiety, and coping with daily stressors. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, offering tools to manage overwhelming emotions and increase emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Robyn works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, and she adapts methods over time so therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single model on every case.
Online therapy offers flexibility for those balancing work, family, or medical responsibilities. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access licensed professionals from home or while traveling, schedule sessions more easily, and use communication modes that feel most comfortable. These options make regular engagement with a therapist more accessible and easier to sustain over time.
