Therapeutic approaches for online care
Tanja uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy as core tools. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to change how they feel and behave. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on identifying values, accepting difficult feelings, and taking committed steps toward what matters most.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or ongoing encouragement between meetings.
