Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps. Online ACT sessions often include exercises to notice thoughts and commit to short, doable actions between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thought and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. In remote sessions CBT tools include thought records, behavioral experiments, and homework that can be reviewed over video or messaging.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what is or isn’t helping and adjusts plans so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
