Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people identify their values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and challenges related to life changes.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens carefully and supports the client in finding their own solutions. This approach can be helpful for building self-esteem, improving communication, and navigating relationship or family concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people recognize unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses. It is commonly applied to mood disorders, panic and anxiety symptoms, and coping with everyday stressors.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Dr. Amy Guertin and other licensed professionals typically take a collaborative stance, exploring a client’s goals, preferences, and needs to determine which methods are the best fit and adjusting the plan over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with a therapist, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make scheduling easier for people with busy lives, those in different parts of Illinois, or anyone who prefers remote sessions, while still allowing therapists to deliver goal-focused support and evidence-informed techniques.
