Approaches That Guide Online Therapy with Abbie Hancock

Abbie Hancock draws from evidence-informed approaches to help clients build practical skills and deeper understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replacing them with actionable strategies - it can be effective for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes values-based action and learning to live with uncomfortable feelings while pursuing a meaningful life - it is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and motivation issues. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s experience, using empathetic listening and collaboration to strengthen self-understanding and self-directed change.
