Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care

Claudia Mayes integrates several proven methods into her online practice to meet a range of concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying meaningful values and taking committed actions - useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of stress, worry, low mood, and sleep difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, providing a supportive space to explore relationship and family issues, self-esteem, and personal goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Claudia works collaboratively with each person to explore preferences, goals, and life circumstances and then selects or combines methods that best fit their needs. This collaborative stance helps tailor care in a way that feels practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily life. For many people, these formats increase access to licensed professionals and allow consistent, ongoing support even when in-person visits are not possible.
