Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care



Thomas McClernon integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness Therapy alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques to address a range of concerns. ACT helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns of avoidance. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment coping, which can support recovery from trauma, grief, and chronic stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it well suited for depression, anxiety, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Thomas works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. The selection of techniques is flexible and can evolve as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for those seeking care. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow for greater scheduling flexibility and make it easier to maintain consistent contact with a therapist from different locations. These options help clients access ongoing support while fitting therapy into busy or changing lives.
