Using ACT, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action. It helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and take steps toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions to teach practical skills for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person and their goals, with the therapist offering empathic listening and support rather than directing outcomes.Choosing a method is a collaborative process. Teresa will work with each person to decide which approach or combination fits their needs, goals, and daily life. Together they set small goals, try different techniques, and adjust based on what helps most in real situations.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls let visual cues guide sessions and are useful for detailed skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a quiet check-in or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework reviews, and support between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit into work, caregiving, and busy schedules while preserving a steady therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
