Online support options
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions and attachment needs to improve close relationships and intimacy-related issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let people have a fuller conversation similar to an in-person visit. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity and to try tools between meetings.
