Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and present relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions can use this approach to talk about patterns of connection, trust, and closeness and to practice different ways of relating.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts and habits that get in the way and trying new behaviors. In remote sessions this often means setting short homework tasks, tracking moods or behaviors between appointments, and reviewing results together.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work through strong emotions that affect relationships and self-understanding. Video or phone sessions provide space to slow down, notice emotional reactions, and rehearse new ways of responding.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining techniques or shifting focus over time as progress and priorities change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or messaging lets clients share thoughts in writing and use brief updates between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and needs, letting people fit sessions into work, caregiving, or travel demands.
