Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Montross

Dr. Lori Montross draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to support emotional growth and resilience. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that align with their values - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance so clients feel understood and can explore their own goals and strengths.

Dr. Montross approaches treatment collaboratively; she helps clients discover which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path. Together they assess progress and adjust techniques so the plan remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and receive skilled care from licensed professionals in a format that works for each client.
