Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and committing to actions that support those values. It is often used when people are facing anxiety, stress, or difficult life transitions and want to build greater psychological flexibility.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It provides practical tools to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, and related challenges by teaching concrete skills for changing reactions and coping more effectively.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a supportive, empathic relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and helps the individual draw on their own resources for growth. This approach can be especially helpful for improving self-esteem, processing relationship issues, and navigating life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Lisa Scott will work collaboratively with each person to consider needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor methods that fit the individual over time. Licensed professionals can combine elements from different approaches to match what works best.

Online therapy offers practical benefits like schedule flexibility and easier access to care. Sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it possible to receive ongoing support from home, during caregiving duties, or while managing work and life transitions. These options help sustain continuity of care and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
