Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Felicia Bates integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address a range of concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it is often used for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and respect, creating a supportive space where clients explore their experiences and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and develops practical skills to manage mood, anxiety, and behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Felicia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as those needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow therapy to fit into varied schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access licensed professionals from different locations, supporting consistent progress even when in-person visits are not feasible.
