Integrating therapeutic approaches with online care
Stephanie often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them - ACT emphasizes values-based action and practical strategies for living a meaningful life despite struggle, and it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns - this approach helps people understand and reshape interpersonal dynamics, which can be particularly helpful for relationship, intimacy, and abandonment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy underlies her work as well, offering a warm, empathetic stance that prioritizes the client’s own goals and experience and supports self-directed growth.
Finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process, and Stephanie works collaboratively with each person to identify which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She blends techniques as appropriate and adjusts the plan over time based on what is most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and at different times. For many people this flexibility improves continuity of care, reduces travel barriers, and allows therapists and licensed professionals to tailor interactions to someone’s daily life and schedule.
