Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and commit to actions that align with what matters most, while learning to live with difficult thoughts and emotions in healthier ways. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior, and it helps repair patterns that interfere with connection and trust in close relationships. This approach is often helpful for relationship strains, grief, and intimacy concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rue "Lashelle" Tennyson and clients review needs, goals, and preferences to determine which methods to emphasize, and she adapts strategies as progress unfolds in a collaborative process.

Online sessions provide flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
