Online support options
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning; it often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and depressive symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead to build insight and confidence.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then tailor methods to fit each person. This is a collaborative process that may combine techniques from several approaches to address immediate concerns and longer-term change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when typing is not preferred. Live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins, written reflections, or times when shorter, more frequent contact is helpful. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
