Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Audrey uses approaches that help people clarify values and build practical skills to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping clients notice thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them, then take actions that align with what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions that call for renewed purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop more balanced, actionable responses. CBT is effective for anxiety, mood symptoms, and coping with daily stressors by teaching concrete strategies for change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration - the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps create a respectful space to explore identity, relationships, and personal goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with each person to select or combine methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to connect from home, work, or while traveling. These options can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and help maintain continuity of care when life gets busy, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
