How her approaches guide online work

Dr. Hancock commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change how someone feels. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and self esteem concerns. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, which can be useful for life transitions and finding purpose.

She aims to match the approach to each person's needs through conversation and collaboration. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and comfort.
