04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. This can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by shifting attention to meaningful action rather than getting stuck on distress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new behaviors. It is useful for managing anxiety, anger, low mood, and many everyday stressors through clear, skill-based work that can be practiced between sessions.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship. That approach supports people who need space to process family issues, grief, or identity questions while feeling understood and accepted.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, comfort level, and life demands. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited; chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options let people access consistent care from different locations and schedules.
