Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Andrea Stott

Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to build practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood and related symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements this work by encouraging values-based action and learning to live with difficult thoughts and emotions in service of a meaningful life. Client-Centered Therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and focuses on empathy and understanding to strengthen self-awareness and resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea works collaboratively with clients and with input from licensed professionals and therapists where needed to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as the work progresses.

Online therapy with Andrea is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, support continuity of care, and allow clients to engage in the ways that feel most comfortable to them.
