Evidence-Informed Approaches, Delivered Online
Laurence Scappa draws from several well-established therapy approaches to help clients work with stress, anxiety, addiction-related concerns, and relationship or intimacy challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and daily habits, then practicing more workable alternatives. It can be especially useful when worry, panic, or low mood starts to shape routines and decision-making.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while staying oriented toward personal values. Rather than getting stuck in an internal battle, ACT supports taking meaningful steps in the direction clients want their lives and relationships to go. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship that helps clients clarify what they feel, what they need, and what they want to change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laurence works collaboratively with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the work accordingly.
Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent with care. Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options that can fit different schedules and comfort levels.
