Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Stephanie Engel integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy into her online practice. ACT helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which often relieves symptoms of depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding techniques that support emotion regulation and coping with chronic stress or pain.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is explored collaboratively. Stephanie works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, then tailors methods and exercises to fit what will likely be most helpful. The partnership guides which strategies are emphasized and how they are practiced over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility, with sessions available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from home or other locations, and maintain continuity when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-informed techniques to these modalities to support meaningful progress.
