Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep stress and anxiety active and teaches concrete skills to shift those patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with overwhelm and compassion fatigue.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit the person. That process is collaborative and can change over time as goals shift and progress is made.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can provide shorter check-ins and flexible touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the work consistent.
