Integrating Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Care

Valeri draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify values-guided actions that lead to a more meaningful life. ACT can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and adjust patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress. CBT offers concrete tools for managing symptoms of anxiety and depression and for building practical coping strategies.

Client-Centered Therapy guides Valeri’s collaborative stance, prioritizing empathic listening and validation so that clients feel heard and supported as they develop their own solutions. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine these methods to suit the needs of the individual.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Valeri works collaboratively with clients to determine the best fit based on their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility and make it easier to maintain consistent care. These formats can help clients access support around busy schedules, manage care from home, and practice new skills between sessions.
