How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed action toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. This approach is often helpful for depression, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on the person’s experience, using empathy and active listening to help people find their own solutions and meaning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people who struggle with intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephen will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the kinds of strategies that might fit best. Together they decide whether to emphasize values work, skills practice, or exploring life meaning and relationships.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find skills practice, values exercises, and narrative work translate well to remote sessions when matched to individual needs.
