Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and building actions that match those values while learning simple skills to manage difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching practical exercises and small behavioral changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to strengthen safer ways of relating and connecting. It is often used for intimacy concerns, attachment issues, and healing from relational wounds.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, in its core elements, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. These tools help people manage intense emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Chelsea will work collaboratively to choose or blend methods that fit a person's goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Together they try options, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or to fit a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or staying connected when a full session isn't possible. These options make scheduling easier and let people continue therapy from places that suit their routine.
