Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and making changes in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports their choices.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions that feel most like face-to-face meetings. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, flexible check-ins and can fit around busy days. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into work, caregiving, and other routines.
