Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Dr. Affrunti commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's preferences, and adjust strategies as needed so the work feels useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when that matters. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a work break or commute. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in, do brief skills practice, or have shorter touchpoints between longer sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and life demands.
