Online support options
How Stephanie's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making changes when old patterns feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments to change them; it is practical for depression, sleep problems, and worry. Client-centered therapy puts the person's goals and pace first, offering a supportive space where people feel heard while they consider next steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so tools and strategies match what you want to change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you work face-to-face from wherever you are. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let you send short updates or get support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
