Online support options
Approach driven online therapy you can use
Linda draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT teaches concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress so clients can test small changes and see what works.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and on taking meaningful action even when feelings are difficult. ACT helps with long-term goals like improving relationships, managing addictions, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Linda will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs, then adjust them as you make progress. This collaborative process helps pick tools that fit your life and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Chat and messaging let people share updates between meetings and fit therapy into a busy schedule.
