Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Spaulding uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other methods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small committed steps toward them, which can ease career indecision and life transition stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and work-related stress.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods match their goals, preferences, and situation. Sessions can mix techniques so the plan fits what the client needs over time.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let people use video or phone options that suit their energy and comfort level rather than requiring long in-person visits. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work effectively through remote appointments, helping clients practice skills and track progress between sessions.
