04Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by focusing on actions that match personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions clients learn practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new behaviors for stress, ADHD-related challenges, or mood changes.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and a respectful therapeutic relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps them make sense of their experience without judgment, which can be especially valuable after trauma or during grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Diane will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She treats approach selection as collaborative and adjusts methods as progress is seen.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit care into a busy life. Video calls work well for full sessions when face-to-face interaction matters. Phone sessions can be handy when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging suit quick updates, brief coaching, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact and practice skills between meetings.
