Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people name their values and take small steps toward them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by moving attention from avoiding pain to building a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can help when attachment issues or family-of-origin problems affect present relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Allison will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process may include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text sessions are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options let people pick the format that best fits their schedule and needs.
