Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Etta "Serena" Faison draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and motivation struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the client in discovering their own solutions - this approach is well suited to building self-esteem and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be effective for depression, anxiety, and mood management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Faison works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so that therapy remains practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy with Faison is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and connect with a licensed professional from locations throughout North Carolina.
