How Dr. Hadlock’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life, even when uncomfortable thoughts and feelings are present. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, life transitions, and finding purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve functioning - it is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration - the therapist creates a supportive environment in which clients explore goals and build self-directed solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Hadlock works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines practical skills training with reflective work so clients gain both insight and tools for change.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
