Online support options
Therapy approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult thoughts while committing to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by focusing on what matters most and taking small meaningful steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and build routines that improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and address depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set clear, manageable goals and try approaches in session to see what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep practicing skills between sessions.
