04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for managing anxiety, grief, and life transitions by shifting focus from avoiding emotions to acting on goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication, which helps when emotions feel overwhelming or impulsive.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bridgett will talk with each person about their goals, challenges, and preferences, then recommend one or a blend of methods. The plan evolves with progress so clients and therapist decide together what best supports change.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people talk face-to-face and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging offer quick touchpoints, follow-up between sessions, and flexible ways to share updates. These options make it easier to fit consistent therapy into work, school, and family routines.
