Online support options
How Emily’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions can focus on simple exercises to clarify values and build small, meaningful habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings, and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. In video or phone sessions CBT often uses worksheets and step-by-step homework to practice between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills in concrete ways that translate well to coaching-style online work.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, challenges, and preferences. That means trying techniques together in session and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions can be a good lower-bandwidth option, live chat supports short check-ins, and text-based messaging works for brief reflections or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, practice new skills between meetings, and maintain continuity when schedules change.
