Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Dr. Joanne Hadlock draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be well suited to online therapy, especially for stress, anxiety, work-related concerns, and relationship challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can be useful for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, building coping skills, and practicing practical strategies for managing day-to-day stressors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps aligned with personal values, which can be especially supportive during life transitions, career changes, or periods of uncertainty. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and the client’s perspective, creating a supportive space to clarify goals and strengthen self-understanding and self-esteem.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Dr. Hadlock works collaboratively with clients to understand what brings them in, what they want to change, and what kind of support feels most helpful, then tailors the approach to match their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to get consistent support with options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can help clients fit therapy into busy schedules, keep momentum between sessions, and access care from a comfortable setting.
