Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward them. Online ACT sessions often include exercises to notice thoughts and commit to value-driven steps that fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. In remote sessions this looks like brief skill practice, written exercises, and real-time problem solving. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy to create a steady space for people to talk through what matters most.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work itself. Carol will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the focus on what feels useful in everyday life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving options for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or fitting therapy into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while matching individual routines and comfort.
