Geoffrey Stratton, LCSW

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Geoffrey draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, a practical approach often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. He also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility to handle difficult emotions and life changes. These methods are applied in a client-centered, collaborative way to tailor interventions to the individual's situation.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Geoffrey works with clients to explore their needs, goals, and preferences and to select strategies that align with what they want to achieve. That collaborative process may combine elements from different approaches so the plan responds to how clients actually experience their challenges.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access licensed professionals from different locations, all while adapting session length and frequency to what works best for each person.
