Approaches that guide online sessions
Deanna uses approaches that combine practical skills with values-based work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete strategies to reduce symptoms like panic, worry, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Picking the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try strategies, and adjust based on what helps most. That means sessions can combine skill practice, value clarification, and motivational techniques tailored to the person's needs.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging can be a good fit for brief check-ins, journal-like reflection, or when someone prefers writing their thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity during life changes.
