Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people identify their core values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes by shifting attention toward what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, and mood regulation to build new coping skills and problem-solving techniques.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of conversation designed to strengthen personal motivation for change. It can be particularly helpful when working through ambivalence around addictions, career shifts, or lifestyle adjustments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Eli Selkin works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to create a tailored plan that fits the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, accommodate different communication styles, and maintain continuity of care across locations.
