Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Grace frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and practice actions that align with those values, which can reduce the struggle with anxiety. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to change how situations feel.She also draws on client-centered principles, which emphasize listening and building a collaborative relationship. The therapist works together with each person to find which approaches fit best for their goals and daily life. Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs and priorities shift.
Session options are not specified in the original profile, so confirm current formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or school schedules. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and for using video or phone choices based on bandwidth or comfort with being on camera. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises like mindfulness and CBT worksheets for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
