04Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take steps that match their personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on emotions and connection in relationships, guiding partners to express needs and rebuild trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time so therapy matches changing needs and real-life challenges.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a more traditional face-to-face feel, phone calls can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options give flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels while keeping the focus on practical skills and progress.
