Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Martha Kilgore draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and take committed actions that align with what matters most. ACT often supports people coping with persistent worry, avoidance, or life transitions by teaching skills for accepting difficult thoughts while moving toward meaningful goals.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and understood as they explore their concerns. This approach can be helpful for relationship difficulties, grief, and building self-esteem because it prioritizes the client’s perspective and strengths.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool Martha applies, focusing on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical strategies to change behavior. CBT can assist with depression, anxiety, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Martha works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine these approaches to tailor care for each individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules or to access care from different locations. These options allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable while maintaining continuity of care and regular progress toward their goals.
