04Online support
How online sessions use practical approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts or feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can be useful when worry or avoidance stops someone from doing what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and actions so unhelpful thinking can be challenged and new routines can be built; it often helps with anxiety, panic, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Guertin will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then tailor methods together. That collaborative process means the plan can shift as needs change and as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and needs. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and do longer sessions, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, and more flexible timing. These options make therapy more accessible and help people keep momentum between sessions.
