Dr. Kendra Corning

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Dr. Corning integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practice specific skills to change them; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and managing mood shifts. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and developing willingness to experience difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that matter. Client-centered therapy is another element of her work, emphasizing empathic listening and using the client’s own goals to guide the pace and focus of treatment.

Deciding which approach or combination will be most helpful is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to weigh their goals, preferences, and life context and then adjust the plan as progress unfolds so that techniques remain useful and relevant.

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 consistent therapeutic work into busy lives, practice new skills in real time, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not practical.
