Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and focuses on identifying values and taking meaningful action; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, centers on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and emotions, making it effective for mood concerns and coping skills. The Gottman Method is a structured approach for couples work that emphasizes communication skills, conflict management, and rebuilding connection to address relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Courtney Groce works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from different models to create a personalized plan that fits the client’s situation.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage in care from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and receive timely support when challenges arise.
