Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Stephen Valente draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take purposeful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships that developed early in life and helps people build healthier connections; this approach often supports work on relationship struggles, parenting, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic therapeutic relationship where the therapist reflects and supports each person’s own goals and strengths - it is helpful for building self-esteem and navigating emotional challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stephen works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals as needed to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts strategies as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent work on stress, relationships, parenting, mood concerns, and other issues while accommodating busy lives and geographic constraints.
