Therapy Approach

Compassionate, Evidence-Based Care for Women

At The Healing Porch, therapy is designed to help women pause, reflect, and move toward healing with clarity and confidence. Our approach blends evidence-based therapies with compassionate support to help you manage anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, trauma-related stress, and hormonal or maternal mental health concerns.

We primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), two highly effective approaches that focus on practical tools, emotional resilience, and meaningful personal growth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Best for: Anxiety, depression, overwhelm, stress, negative thinking patterns, mood concerns

CBT helps you understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Together, we identify patterns that may be contributing to distress and develop healthier ways to think, cope, and respond.

Benefits may include:

  • Improved emotional regulation
  • Reduced anxiety and depressive symptoms
  • Stronger coping skills
  • Increased confidence and clarity

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Best for: Chronic stress, burnout, trauma-related stress, life transitions, emotional avoidance

ACT focuses on accepting what you cannot control while committing to actions that align with your values. This approach helps you create a meaningful life even in the presence of stress or difficult emotions.

Benefits may include:

  • Greater emotional flexibility
  • Reduced avoidance and overwhelm
  • Stronger sense of purpose
  • Improved resilience and self-compassion
