04Online support
How Ava’s approaches translate to online therapy
Ava commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.She treats choosing the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation, adjusting them over time. Together you’ll decide whether acceptance-based strategies, skill-building, or relationship-focused work is most useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video lets you work face to face when a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is low or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to touch base between longer sessions or when writing feels easier than speaking.
