How her methods translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take concrete steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and practicing alternative responses to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It often helps with worry, sleep problems, and mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help when emotions feel overwhelming.Nancy treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She will discuss different methods and adapt them to fit each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Early sessions are often about trying practical strategies and deciding what feels most helpful going forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access. Video works well for teaching skills and doing longer sessions. Phone can be a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can be used for short check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on usable tools and steady progress.
