04Online support
Therapeutic approaches in online care
Kathleen commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what they value and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical changes in behavior to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathleen will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to their goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize values-based work, thought-challenging skills, or a mix tailored to relationship, parenting, or mood concerns.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people fit counseling into busy schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing helps process feelings. These options aim to make regular therapy more accessible and easier to maintain alongside everyday life.
