Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Thompson incorporates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking action toward what matters, which can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors to build practical skills for mood, worry, and coping with daily challenges.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and reactions. That approach can help people understand closeness, trust, and communication struggles. Choosing which approach to emphasize is collaborative - she will work with clients to match methods to their goals, needs, and personal preferences so the plan fits how they want to work.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Text and chat make it possible to share brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or fit support into a busy day. This variety helps people find a format that fits their schedule and communication style.
