Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, grief, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that make stress and depression worse.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Haleh will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, more frequent check-ins and written reflections between longer sessions. These options help people keep continuity of care while balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
