04Online support
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking steps that match those values even when feelings are difficult. It can help people who feel stuck after major changes or who struggle with ongoing stress and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors and teaches skills to change unhelpful cycles. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marina will discuss these methods with the client and tailor sessions to fit their goals and preferences. Together they decide what to try first and adjust methods as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps make online sessions feel focused and relevant.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer talks and skill practice, while phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, skill reminders, or flexible scheduling during busy days. These options make it easier to keep momentum and fit therapy into real life.
