Approaches That Guide Online Care

Stephanie Cook integrates several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in an online setting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take actions that align with their values - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing empathic, nonjudgmental support so clients can explore their experience and find their own solutions; it is useful when people need a safe space to process emotions and clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for managing symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stephanie works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match an individual’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care and to fit therapy into daily life while working with a licensed therapist.
