Approaches and Online Access for Practical Change

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address problems like compulsions or unhealthy coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values so clients can take meaningful action despite discomfort. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration to create a supportive space where clients can explore concerns and set their own goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Addi works with clients to consider their symptoms, priorities, and preferences and may blend techniques from these approaches to align with individual goals. This shared decision-making helps tailor a plan that feels practical and respectful of each person’s circumstances.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access therapy from varied locations while working with licensed professionals.
