Evidence-based approaches and online care for everyday challenges

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps individuals clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and situations that feel overwhelming by teaching acceptance and committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical skills and structured exercises. CBT is effective for mood concerns, anxiety, insomnia, and many everyday problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship where the therapist offers support and understanding while the client explores personal goals and solutions; this humanistic approach can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Dr. Patrick Keohane works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan over time based on client feedback and progress.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care across distances while preserving a meaningful therapeutic connection.
