Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while helping clients identify and commit to actions that reflect their values - a useful approach for stress, anxiety, and navigating life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, allowing clients to lead the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist provides respectful, nonjudgmental support.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Landry works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend these approaches to tailor care to each person.
