Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Steven Mason uses several evidence-informed approaches to help people address stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship or life-stage concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and unhealthy habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by accepting difficult thoughts and committing to meaningful actions - it can be useful for lingering worries, low motivation, and life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-compassion techniques that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, supporting sleep difficulties, stress, and trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Steven works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow sessions to fit into busy schedules and reach people who cannot attend in person. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different communication styles, and access a licensed professional from varied locations.
