Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to shift mood and functioning; it often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses in relationships and improving emotional connection and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Decisions about which methods to use are made collaboratively and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever someone is located. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support possible between longer sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy going around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
