Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that matter despite difficult thoughts or feelings; it can help when worry or avoidance gets in the way of daily goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns of relating formed early in life and helps people shift how they connect and communicate in current relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carleigh will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try techniques, talk about what helps, and adapt the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, homework, or when a shorter, flexible touchpoint is preferred. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family life and let people choose what works best for them.
