04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action. It helps people reduce the impact of difficult thoughts and commit to steps that match what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on how emotions shape relationships and communication, which can help when connection or intimacy is a concern.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together with the therapist. Marissa will review goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. From there she adapts techniques from these approaches to fit each person’s needs in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions that benefit from seeing facial expressions, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for quick reflections, skill practice between sessions, or ongoing support without scheduling a call. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and try different formats to see what works best.
