Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used when someone wants clearer direction and more livable daily routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around daily tasks. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness in short, practical steps that people can use right away.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match what you need. If one technique doesn’t fit, she and the client adjust the plan and try another option until it feels helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let you have a fuller conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, skill reminders, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a real schedule and to keep working on skills between longer sessions.
