Therapy Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Charlotte Schafer, LPC, uses an integrative style and often draws from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be useful when stress, anxiety, low mood, or self-doubt start to shape daily life.DBT blends practical skills for handling intense emotions with tools for staying grounded in the moment. It is often helpful for building distress tolerance, improving communication, and strengthening day-to-day coping. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while still taking meaningful steps forward, rather than getting stuck in avoidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Charlotte collaborates with clients to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting along the way as new insights and priorities emerge.
