04Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with mood shifts.
Desiree will work together with each person to find the right mix of approaches. She listens to goals and preferences, then tailors strategies and pacing so the work fits daily life and energy levels. Finding the best fit is an active, collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people read facial cues and try skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options help people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
