Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Vallerie Hancock draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to support clients in online settings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values, accept difficult emotions without avoidance, and commit to actions that align with what matters to them - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients feel heard and supported while they explore self-worth, relationship patterns, and identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to teach practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, mood disorders, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Dr. Vallerie Hancock works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then blends methods to create a tailored plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life changes, and receive support from licensed professionals without needing to travel to an office.
