Approaches and Online Support for Stress, Trauma, and Growth

Gillian DeLano integrates evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy to support clients in online settings. ACT emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action - it can help with anxiety, lingering stress, and making life changes that matter. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers structured ways to process and reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences, assisting clients who are coping with trauma, post-traumatic stress, or the emotional effects of abuse.

Licensed professionals like Gillian work collaboratively with each client to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She partners with clients to try strategies, adjust the plan as progress unfolds, and prioritize interventions that feel helpful and achievable.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access care around work, family, and health constraints. These options offer scheduling flexibility, continuity of support, and multiple ways to communicate so clients can choose the mode that feels most comfortable for them.
