Approaches that fit your life and goals
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people build more steady ways of relating and communicating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. King will discuss these options with clients and help decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as therapy proceeds.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists use these offerings to make therapy more practical for everyday life while focusing on the same therapeutic skills and relationship-based work used in-person.
