Online support options
Therapeutic approaches suited to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when difficult feelings show up. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems. CBT is often used for depression, panic, and many daily stressors. Attachment-Based ideas concentrate on relationships and patterns that started early in life; this can help people who struggle with intimacy, trust, or emotional reactivity. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work unfolds. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deep work. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or a quieter connection is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins, on-the-go support, and a way to keep momentum between sessions. These options aim to make consistent care more flexible and accessible for different routines and needs.Start online instead of waiting
