04Online support
Therapeutic approaches suited to online care
Deborah integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and learning to accept difficult thoughts while taking value-driven action; it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing new skills; it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about current struggles, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Together they decide what fits best and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep therapy consistent over time.
