Evidence-based approaches, made accessible online

Laurence Scappa draws from several well-established therapy methods to support concerns like stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship or intimacy challenges.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into a struggle with them, while also clarifying values and taking steps that align with the life they want to build. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, helping clients identify unhelpful patterns and practice more workable responses in daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and healthier communication, which can be especially useful when emotions feel intense or hard to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laurence works collaboratively, listening closely and adjusting the focus based on a client’s goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful over time.

Online therapy makes it easier to get consistent support with flexible options, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This format can fit busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to stay engaged in therapy from wherever a client feels most comfortable.
