Online support
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and then take small actions toward those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and replacing them with more effective ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, mood, and everyday stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental conversation where the person sets the pace and direction of work, helping build self-understanding and confidence.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gretchen will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust them over time in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared tools, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or shorter exchanges during a busy week. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
