Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Kendra Spiva draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be practical and grounding in day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then experimenting with new responses that better support goals like managing stress, anxiety, and self-esteem challenges.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while taking steps toward what matters most. It can be especially helpful during life changes, grief, or periods of feeling stuck, by supporting values-based choices even when things feel hard.
Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes building awareness of the present moment with less judgment. Over time, this can strengthen coping skills and make it easier to respond thoughtfully rather than react automatically.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kendra collaborates with clients to understand needs, goals, and preferences, and then shapes sessions in a way that feels supportive and workable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and to choose a format that feels most comfortable from one week to the next.
