Therapy approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, then take small actions that align with what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction during life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that make problems worse and testing new, more helpful responses. It often includes short home exercises and practical behavior changes for mood, anxiety, and impulsivity.

Motivational Interviewing helps if someone feels unsure about change, especially around substance use or other habits. The approach uses curious, nonjudgmental conversation to build motivation and plan manageable steps.

Kennan treats finding the right approach as a team effort. He listens to a person’s goals and tries methods that fit their pace and preferences, checking in and adjusting if something isn’t working. That collaboration helps tailor work to ADHD-related challenges, mood, and coping needs.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to keep therapy consistent. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break or commute between commitments. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tools practice, or when someone prefers writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to maintain steady progress without long travel or scheduling hurdles.
