How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small actions aligned with those values. It helps when worry or avoidance makes life feel smaller. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so people feel understood; that support helps people open up and try new ways of handling problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to change them, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation guides which methods are emphasized and how sessions are structured.
If you are considering online options, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that using these approaches remotely still lets them practice skills between sessions and move toward the changes they want.
