04Online support
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and choosing actions that fit personal values. Online ACT sessions often focus on small experiments clients can do between meetings to build a more meaningful routine. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking that increase distress and teaches practical strategies to change them. CBT online typically involves short homework tasks and skill practice that can be reviewed during video or chat sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to identify goals, try different methods, and adjust as needed. That means starting with a plan, checking what helps, and shifting focus if something isn’t working for the person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for deeper conversations and role‑playing exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth is needed or when clients prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, quick tools, or carrying on work between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
