Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and when someone wants clearer direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, sleep problems, and coping during life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace and topics, which can help build self-esteem and trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they shape a plan that may blend approaches and adjust over time as progress is tracked.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and learning skills together. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options offer flexibility so therapy can match daily routines and needs.
