Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Gavin Armstrong draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathy and unconditional positive regard, creating a space where people can explore feelings and personal goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is often helpful for depression, anxiety, and problem-specific concerns.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Gavin works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques and pacing so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy with Gavin is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit appointments around work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from home or other convenient locations while working with a registered professional and therapist who tailors the approach to each individual.
