Tailored Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Patrick Keohane commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, insomnia, and anger. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist helps clients explore their goals and make their own changes, which supports work on self-esteem, relationships, and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Keohane and each client work together to identify which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and feedback guide the work. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment feels relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or reach care from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent, skills-focused treatment and ongoing support in ways that suit each client's schedule and communication style.
