Practical Approaches and Online Access

Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning, making it useful for issues like anxiety, depression, and addiction. ACT emphasizes values-guided action and developing psychological flexibility, which can help when someone is struggling with painful emotions or difficulty committing to changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to determine which methods fit their needs and goals, drawing on clinical judgment and client preferences to adapt techniques over time. This shared decision-making helps tailor interventions so they feel relevant and practical for everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to access licensed professionals from different locations and to choose formats that match their schedules and communication styles. The range of formats supports continuity of care and makes it easier to maintain momentum between sessions.
