Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable thoughts or emotions arise. It is useful for people facing anxiety, stress, or difficult life transitions who want to build psychological flexibility. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other common concerns; it is practical and goal-oriented. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, which can support emotional regulation, stress reduction, and improved coping in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wendy Galyen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Wendy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations and to choose the format that best supports consistent engagement and ongoing progress.
