How Barbara's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them even when emotions are difficult. It focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on understanding emotions in relationships and improving communication and bonding between partners and close others.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then match techniques to those needs. This is a collaborative process where the client and therapist try ideas and adjust as needed.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face to face when convenient. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins, shorter reflections, or follow-up between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit into busy lives and let people choose what works best for them.
