Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking actions that match those values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching acceptance and committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance where the therapist reflects and supports the client’s own problem-solving and growth.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust the plan over time. This is a collaborative process where client feedback guides which approaches are used.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it possible for people living outside Georgia or in other time zones to meet with a licensed professional. Practical considerations like bandwidth, camera use, and session length can be tailored to what works for the client and therapist.
