Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Toni commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that fit their values; it can be useful for anxiety, grief, and life transitions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and stress.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make sure each session feels respectful and aligned with the person’s goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together; the therapist and client decide what fits based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor techniques and pacing so the work is both useful and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video calls are close to a traditional session and allow face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a simpler option for check-ins. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing prompts between sessions to reinforce practice and progress.
