Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by teaching skills to accept difficult thoughts and commit to meaningful actions. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where getting unstuck matters more than eliminating every uncomfortable feeling.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT offers practical strategies to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and anger by teaching concrete problem-solving and coping techniques.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method used to process distressing memories and trauma. It can help reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic experiences and support recovery from abuse or other trauma-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ryan works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques over time so therapy fits each person’s life and priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and connect with licensed professionals from different locations, including international clients.
