Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Dwanne regularly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify personal values and take small actions that matter to them. ACT often helps when stress, worry, or unhelpful thoughts are getting in the way of living a valued life. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns and practice different ways of responding to difficult moods or situations. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing everyday reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to choose methods that fit each person’s goals and preferences. Together they try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan as needs change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat are useful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules and help maintain momentum between meetings.
