04Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Barbara commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and to act in line with what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, grief, and coping with big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or sleep problems.She also brings a client-centered stance to virtual sessions, which means the person sets the agenda and the therapist follows. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - she will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences and adjust as needed.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
