How Annie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Annie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck and to choose actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice concrete behavior changes. CBT techniques are useful for stress, mood concerns, and managing symptoms like worry or anger.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Annie collaborates with each person to test methods, adjust strategies, and decide what fits their goals and preferences. She frames therapy as a partnership where the plan can change based on what helps most.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, or support between longer visits. These formats let people fit sessions into work, school, or caregiving schedules while still working on meaningful change.
