Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cassandra Gadouas draws on several evidence-informed approaches to help clients meet their goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify personal values and take actions that align with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be helpful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach for processing and reducing the impact of traumatic memories and related distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cassandra will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to connect with licensed professionals from varied locations and maintain continuity of care without requiring travel.
