Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and commit to actions that align with what matters most. It combines practical exercises with mindfulness-related strategies to reduce avoidance and increase psychological flexibility, and can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and understanding. This approach helps clients explore their feelings and make choices that reflect their own goals, often benefiting self-esteem, relationship concerns, and emotional processing.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors, CBT offers concrete tools for addressing depression, anxiety, and coping difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process - Tyerell Dotson works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He helps clients try techniques and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules and makes it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options can increase accessibility for those who live remotely, have caregiving responsibilities, or need more convenient ways to engage in therapy with licensed professionals.
