Online support options
Approaches that guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps toward them while learning to notice painful thoughts without getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, or addictive habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when emotions feel intense.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to goals and preferences. Together they try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face from anywhere. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins around work or family responsibilities. These formats can make ongoing therapy easier to maintain while using the same therapeutic tools used in person.
