Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Samina Long

Dr. Long uses approaches that focus on values, thoughts, and practical solutions to help clients move forward. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them while clarifying personal values to guide change - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and meaning-focused work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete skills to reduce distress and shift unhelpful patterns - it is often effective for anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps toward preferred outcomes, making it a good option for clients seeking practical progress on specific issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Long works with each person to understand goals, preferences, and practical needs, and she will help determine which methods or combination of methods fit best for the individual. The plan is adjusted as progress unfolds to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to connect from home or elsewhere, reduce travel time, and fit sessions into busy schedules. These options can make consistent care more accessible and easier to maintain while preserving the therapeutic focus and collaborative nature of the work.
