Online Adult Counseling

The stresses of adult life from being overworked, overcommitted, and overwhelmed are immense and can contribute to anxiety, depression, and a number of other mental health concerns. It’s also common for us to need someone to help us process grief and navigate major life transitions. At Calm Blue Waters Counseling, serving the state of North Carolina online, Amy Castongia, a licensed clinical mental health counselor, helps adults along life's journey. 

Treatments Offered Online

Amy offers four main approaches and can blend them to create a plan to find the most successful method for each client’s goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavior therapy, offered to adults throughout North Carolina via online visits, centers on the identification and modification of thoughts, actions, and feelings holding you back in life. These thought patterns and behaviors can contribute to mental health problems, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, and anxiety. 

Besides changing thoughts and behaviors, you learn coping skills and strategies to feel less overwhelmed, boost your confidence, and imagine new possibilities for yourself.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy 

You can manage your stress and develop emotional coping skills through mindfulness-based therapy. This therapy encompasses present-moment awareness and accepting your thoughts, bodily sensations, and emotions without self-criticism. Once you’re able to think about your feelings with more distance and less judgment, you are less likely to feel overwhelmed and decision-making will be easier.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy 

By using mindfulness-based techniques, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps you devote yourself to altering your actions to synchronize with your goals and values. This is beneficial for those with relationship problems and who are dealing with life transitions or low self-esteem. You can even learn to cope with chronic health conditions through ACT.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy 

This therapy is related to cognitive behavioral therapy and teaches you skills to increase your stress tolerance. While it's commonly used to treat borderline personality disorder, it's useful for various conditions, including:

• Substance abuse disorders
• Eating disorders
• Mood disorders
