Mindfulness and Skills-Based Therapy, Anywhere You Are
Nancy Gilmer, LPCC, draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted well to online care, especially for concerns like stress, anxiety, grief, trauma-related distress, and major life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions. It helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding, which can be useful when anxiety, panic, or self-critical thinking starts to take over. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes building a life guided by personal values while learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. This can be supportive during grief, uncertainty, and times of change. Mindfulness Therapy adds practical exercises for grounding and present-moment awareness, helping clients relate differently to stress and emotional intensity.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Nancy approaches therapy as collaborative, working with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjusting strategies over time.
Online therapy offers flexible options, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This format can make it easier to stay consistent, build skills between sessions, and access support from home or while traveling, including for international clients.
