Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Adam draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide his online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, uses mindfulness and values-based actions to help people live in alignment with what matters to them and is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical skills for depression, anxiety, addictions, and many everyday challenges.He also uses client-centered principles that prioritize empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating space for clients to lead the pace and focus of work. Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the process; Adam works with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility. Sessions may occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, access care from different locations, and use communication styles that feel most comfortable. These options allow therapy to be practical and consistent while supporting the same therapeutic goals as in-person work.
