Online support options
Online approaches that teach practical skills
Hayley often uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. Sessions include simple exercises people can practice between meetings to reinforce change.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to help manage strong emotions and improve distress tolerance. Those tools are useful for reducing intense reactions, improving relationships, and stabilizing mood through clear, step-by-step practices.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Hayley works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day reality. Plans are adjusted over time to keep progress moving and to fit changing needs.
Online therapy offers a range of ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for longer sessions and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging let people share updates between sessions or use brief exchanges when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
