Approaches and Accessibility in Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking action toward meaningful goals - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses, often helpful for depression, anxiety, and coping challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting clients to lead the pace and focus of therapy, which can be beneficial for building trust and exploring personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Dr. Boone works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as the therapeutic work evolves. This partnership helps tailor care to each person’s circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to connect across distances. For many people, these options increase consistency and accessibility while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to provide focused, evidence-informed support.
