Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Stephanie Thomas incorporates several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful steps toward them while learning practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence present-day connections and emotional responses, supporting people who struggle with intimacy, abandonment, or relational conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing depression, anxiety, and mood instability.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stephanie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance aims to ensure treatment fits each person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins or ongoing support can take place via live chat or text-based messaging. These options increase accessibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic constraints while maintaining a consistent engagement with therapy.
