Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take gentle, committed steps toward those values. It combines acceptance of difficult feelings with practical actions, and it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early relational experiences shape current connection styles. By exploring attachment needs and repair, this approach can support work on intimacy, abandonment concerns, and relationship conflicts.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic alliance where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead. This approach supports self-exploration, emotional growth, and rebuilding self-compassion.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. David Burkett works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from home or work when needed.
