Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anger, anxiety, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms like depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps build on strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Constance will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That planning happens over early sessions and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and make it easier to check in between other responsibilities. Some approaches, like skill practice from CBT or mindfulness exercises from ACT, adapt well to remote work and can be done in short or focused sessions when needed.
