Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions
Selma Wesley draws from several evidence-informed approaches to help clients navigate challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility - it helps people live more fully even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and a nonjudgmental stance, creating a space where clients can explore feelings and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to build practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Selma works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts methods to meet the needs of individuals, couples, and families rather than relying on a single technique.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, school, caregiving, or mobility limits. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while tailoring communication styles to what works best for each client.
