Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Care

Velery Fasano-Gilman incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her practice to address a range of concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and supports taking actions that align with personal values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and can explore their own solutions - this approach supports self-esteem, confidence, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical coping skills to change mood and behavior - it is often used for anxiety, depressed mood, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Velery will work collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts strategies as progress is made, treating the choice of approach as a joint decision.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access therapy from different locations. These formats allow clients to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or other commitments while still engaging in focused therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
