04Online support
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that match those values. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck by teaching ways to notice difficult thoughts without getting ruled by them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking. It is useful for anxiety, depression, body image struggles, and many everyday stressors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive behavior. It can help when someone feels overwhelmed, isolated, or has trouble regulating reactions in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Connor collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. He adjusts tools and pacing as the relationship develops so the plan stays relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation windows. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, homework review, or when shorter, more frequent contact helps maintain momentum.
