Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Growth

Shayla uses practical, collaborative approaches that translate well to online formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build concrete coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult emotions while committing to meaningful actions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and support while the client leads the pace and goals of the work. This approach is useful for building self-understanding, improving self-esteem, and navigating life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shayla works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then adjusts techniques to fit each person’s situation, creating a tailored plan that can evolve over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit mental health care into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent, focused support while helping clients practice skills and track progress between sessions.
