Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Scott Shaw

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, and challenges that arise during life transitions by building psychological flexibility.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current connection patterns and emotional responses. This approach can be helpful for clients working through relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, and attachment concerns across family or romantic contexts.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical, problem-focused method that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It is commonly applied to stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching skills to shift unhelpful thinking and build effective coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Scott Shaw works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from a convenient location, while preserving the collaborative and skill-building elements of in-person care.
