Online support options
How therapy approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants clearer direction in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and uses step-by-step exercises to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and patterns like overthinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through concrete practice and coaching in distress tolerance and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use the format that works best for each person.
