Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Dr. Patrick Keohane uses several established approaches to help clients address emotional and behavioral concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take committed action while learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and mood, making it effective for anxiety, depression, insomnia, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic relationship where the therapist supports the client’s own capacity for growth and self-understanding - this approach supports work on self-esteem, relationship issues, and coping with stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Dr. Keohane works collaboratively with clients to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts methods over time, inviting client feedback to guide treatment decisions.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and needs. These options make it easier to access consistent support, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each client.
