Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while taking practical steps toward the life they want to live. It can be especially helpful when anxiety, stress, or self-criticism makes it hard to move forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and habits, then practicing new skills that better support mood, confidence, and daily functioning. It often supports goals related to depression, anxiety, and self-esteem, especially when clients want clear tools they can use between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a steady therapeutic relationship so clients can explore identity, values, and life transitions at their own pace. This approach can be a strong fit for people who want an affirming space to talk openly and feel understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. LaQunana Cistrunk collaborates with clients to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy can make support more accessible and flexible, whether sessions happen by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can help clients stay consistent with care while fitting therapy into busy schedules and changing routines.
