Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Terri Ellerbe-Graves integrates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered methods to tailor care to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites individuals to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life - it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that developed in close relationships and helps people build healthier connection styles, which can be useful for relationship concerns, trauma, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and support to foster self-awareness and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Terri works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as therapy progresses to support practical, sustainable change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing for flexible scheduling and easier access to consistent care. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of support while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they let therapists and clients focus on progress in ways that fit each person's life.
