Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed actions toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of struggling with them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is practical and skills-based, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with mood or focus.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and sensations, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation for issues like stress, emotional dysregulation, and chronic worry.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Maureen works with clients to determine which combination of strategies best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. She emphasizes partnership in choosing methods that feel most helpful.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from different locations while still working with licensed professionals who tailor care to each person’s situation.
