Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your needs

Dr. Mary Ann Hensley commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and commit to actions that move them toward a meaningful life - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and adjustment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses - it is effective for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Dr. Hensley collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time to keep treatment aligned with progress and priorities.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited travel options. These formats make it possible to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and access care from familiar surroundings while working with a licensed professional who can guide the therapeutic process.
