Evidence-informed therapy approaches, delivered online
Dr. Mahalia Hamilton draws from approaches that can be adapted to your goals and the pace that feels right for you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and everyday habits, then practicing more supportive ways of thinking and responding. It is often used when anxiety, low mood, stress, or self-esteem concerns are getting in the way of daily life.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while reconnecting with what matters most to them. Rather than trying to eliminate discomfort, ACT supports practical steps toward valued actions, which can be especially helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or life changes feel hard to navigate.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and ongoing relationship experiences can shape trust, closeness, boundaries, and communication. This approach can be useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and patterns that repeat across friendships, family, or partnerships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Hamilton works collaboratively, checking in about your preferences, goals, and what feels most helpful so the work can be tailored over time.
