Online support options
Practical therapy approaches delivered online
Dr. Igboanusi uses methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values while learning to relate differently to painful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, symptoms, and daily routine. That might mean blending ACT and CBT techniques or adding trauma-focused work when past events are a core issue.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or when typing out thoughts helps organize feelings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping consistent momentum toward change.
