04Online support
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Cheryl commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her online practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values even when hard feelings arise.She also draws on attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns affect current struggles. That work looks at how early connections shape expectations and communication, and then practices new ways of relating to increase safety and trust. Deciding which approach to use is a team effort - the therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what seems most useful, then adjust the plan over time.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for in-depth work and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, school, and family commitments, while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
