Online Therapy Grounded in Practical, Evidence-Based Care

Dr. Bernadette Boozer-Madison draws from evidence-based approaches that can be well suited to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practicing new responses, which many people find useful when working through anxiety, depression, stress, and major life transitions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes building psychological flexibility by learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that align with personal values. This approach can support clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down by ongoing stressors, grief, or caregiver strain.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and ongoing relationship experiences shape current connection and coping. It can be helpful for concerns involving relationship strain, separation and divorce, and the impact of trauma on trust and closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Boozer-Madison collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then tailors sessions to support meaningful progress over time.

Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging to stay engaged between sessions and fit support into busy schedules.
