Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck in them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical skills and structured exercises - it is commonly used for anxiety, mood disorders, panic, and phobias. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the client’s own capacity for growth; this approach can help with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Guertin works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and the pace of work to each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and to access therapists from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in how and when people connect with licensed professionals and can support consistent progress even when in-person visits are not possible.
