Online support options
Online approaches that support change
Julie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take small steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms.She also draws on client-centered techniques that emphasize listening and collaboration. Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the client to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences and can adjust as those needs change.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for full sessions and face-to-face conversation, phone calls can fit into a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support easier. These options help people maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into busy schedules.
