About Betsy

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful goals; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life-direction concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete skills to change behavior and mood, making it a practical option for depression, anxiety, and some ADHD-related difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within close relationships, supporting work on communication and relational patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines elements from these models as appropriate and adjusts the plan over time based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and allows people to engage from different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or health constraints and to experiment with techniques between sessions in ways that fit daily life.
