Online support options
Therapeutic approaches available online
Dr. Dockery uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that lead to anxiety or low mood, and to build more helpful daily habits. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values, even when feelings are difficult. Mindfulness techniques are used to teach simple ways to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and life context, then try methods that match those needs. If one method doesn't fit, adjustments are made together to find a better way forward.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. Video is useful for more in-depth work and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity over time.
