Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name their values and take small actions that line up with them. It focuses on committed steps more than on getting rid of every painful thought. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. These methods are useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be helpful when strong emotions or impulsive reactions get in the way of daily life or relationships. Mary-Catherine uses elements of these approaches in session and will shape the work to fit each person's needs and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their priorities and comfort level. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can fit into a short break, and messaging supports check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to get consistent support around work, caregiving, or a busy schedule.
