Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace and topics of therapy and the therapist follows with empathy and support.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Elizabeth will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time based on what feels most useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are good for a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can work for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports quick updates or reflections between visits. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue progress when schedules change.
