Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Iris Wilsek uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful action. She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering empathetic listening and a collaborative pace so clients feel heard and respected while exploring change.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Iris works together with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance means techniques are adapted as therapy progresses to ensure a practical and personally relevant plan.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows for greater flexibility around work, family, and mobility. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care and to access licensed professionals from different locations when scheduling and life demands require it.
