How Dr. Rushing’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It’s used for anxiety, depression, and life changes where people want clearer direction and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem and often involves homework exercises. Client-Centered Therapy relies on attentive listening and reflecting what a person says. It supports clearer self-understanding and helps people decide which changes to try.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with the client to select methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone avoid being on camera when they prefer. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so practical tools can be used between meetings.
