CBT and Mindful Approaches Delivered Online
Dr. Rushing commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping strategies; CBT often focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to encourage values-based action and psychological flexibility, which can help when navigating difficult emotions and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best with their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes tailoring techniques over time so therapy remains relevant to each person's needs and circumstances.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care and access therapeutic support from varied settings, while allowing the therapist to apply structured CBT exercises, ACT practices, and client-centered conversation in ways that suit remote work.
