Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Stephanie Tumba commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide her online work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take concrete steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and building coping strategies.

Stephanie also draws on elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are central concerns. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, which can be beneficial for those facing conflict, grief, or impulsive coping patterns.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Stephanie works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, evaluate what methods resonate, and adjust the plan as needs and preferences evolve. Online sessions — whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging — offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These options support consistent engagement and give clients multiple ways to communicate with a licensed professional when working toward their goals.
