Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Tenisha uses well-established cognitive and behavioral approaches to help clients change unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and modifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or low mood, and it is useful for stress, mood disorders, and social anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and emotions while clarifying personal values and committing to actions that support a meaningful life.Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and allow ongoing work on skills and strategies between meetings. Licensed professionals can support treatment goals through these varied formats while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
