Practical approaches for online care and skills work

Hollie commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavior changes that improve mood and functioning. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress because it links thoughts, feelings, and actions to clear steps you can try between sessions.rr>She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify personal values and take committed steps toward those values even when difficult feelings are present. ACT is often used for coping with ongoing stress, grief, and life transitions. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to teach simple grounding and attention skills that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.rr>Hollie approaches finding the right method as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try different tools, and adjust the plan when something is not working. The aim is to build a practical mix of strategies that fits the client’s day-to-day life.rr>Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which give flexibility for different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, homework review, or stepped communication when a shorter touchpoint is helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and caregiving schedules.
