Online support options
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and making choices during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve coping. It often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and managing anger. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and listening so a person feels heard and understood while they find their own solutions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sara will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they track what helps and adjust the approach as therapy progresses. Online sessions make it easier to add therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is useful. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief updates, between-session support, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options increase flexibility and help people keep continuity with therapy even when schedules change.Start online instead of waiting
