Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Engstrom commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to clarify values that guide meaningful action. He also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to teach concrete techniques for reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption. Mindfulness-based strategies are woven into sessions to strengthen present-moment awareness and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past to shape a treatment plan that feels practical and aligned with the client’s priorities. Adjustments are made over time to ensure the work remains relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care from different locations and to use brief check-ins or longer sessions depending on what the person finds most helpful.
