Online Therapy Grounded in Practical, Person-Centered Care
Shelia Cisco draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be well suited to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and build skills for responding differently in daily life, which can be useful for concerns such as depression, self-esteem, and relationship stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most, often helping with life transitions, identity exploration, and rebuilding a sense of purpose. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and respect for each person’s experience, offering a supportive setting for processing trauma, intimacy-related concerns, and major relationship changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shelia collaborates with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped before, and what feels most comfortable, then adjusts the work to fit their goals and preferences over time.
Online therapy with Shelia can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and access support from a familiar environment.
