Therapeutic tools that translate well to online care

Tilaya Bradford-Hollins, LCSW, draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be practiced in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It can help clients notice unhelpful patterns tied to stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship conflict, then practice more workable responses over time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in making room for difficult emotions while building a life guided by personal values. This approach can be especially useful during life transitions, when old coping strategies no longer fit and it is important to clarify what matters most.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early experiences and relationship patterns can shape current connection, communication, and trust. It can help clients better understand emotional needs and develop healthier ways of relating to others and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tilaya collaborates with clients to identify goals, preferences, and pacing, then tailors sessions to what is most helpful in the moment.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit support into busy schedules and access care from wherever is most convenient.
