Integrating evidence-informed approaches for online care



Candyce Spruel draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients in online sessions. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it is useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation struggles. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right blend of techniques is part of the therapeutic journey. Candyce works collaboratively with clients to explore which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as treatment progresses so the plan remains personalized and practical.

Online therapy with Candyce is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or work, maintain continuity of care, and choose the format that best supports their engagement and progress.
