Therapeutic approaches and online care

Gabrielle McMurphy uses several established approaches to support clients in an online format. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions - it can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective patterns - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and understood while exploring their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Gabrielle works with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best fit individual goals, preferences, and the specific challenges being addressed, and she adjusts strategies as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility needs and help maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
