Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Hensley commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts without fighting them and choose actions that match their values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and anger.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss goals, and recommend approaches that fit your needs and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different tools and adjusting the plan as you go.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow shorter, more frequent check-ins and can fit into busy days without needing to be on camera.
