How CBT and online sessions work together
Kelly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors those thoughts lead to. CBT involves breaking problems into smaller parts, testing new ways of thinking, and trying different behaviors to see what helps. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and for managing ADHD-related routines and focus challenges.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Kelly will work with each person to match methods to their goals and daily life. Together they decide which skills to focus on, how quickly to move, and what to practice between sessions so therapy fits real-world demands.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is helpful, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing, shorter contact and reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules and to keep using skills between appointments.
