Therapeutic Approaches for Online Growth and Change

Betty Collins draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work with clients. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s experience leads the way; this approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and relational concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often helping with depression, anxiety, and coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Betty works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies as the work unfolds so therapy remains aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy with Betty can be delivered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow clients to access licensed professionals from wherever they are located within the therapist’s service area.
