Approaches that guide online sessions
Dr. Dalton-Trusty often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where getting unstuck matters more than removing every symptom.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors through small experiments. CBT works well for mood, worry, and problems that benefit from clear steps and practice between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit. Choices are revisited over time so the plan stays aligned with what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and nonverbal cues, while phone calls can be lower bandwidth and easier when schedules are tight. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, or follow-up between longer sessions. These options are intended to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
