Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients clarify what matters most to them and learn practical ways to act on those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration; it creates space for clients to explore their concerns at their own pace and is helpful for relationship, self-esteem, and adjustment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through concrete strategies and skill building, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Dr. Shayne McKinsey collaborates with each person to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to ensure the best fit. The process is guided and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video calls or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, school, or family schedules and to access licensed professionals when in-person visits are difficult.
