04Online support
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking workable steps toward them. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching how to notice thoughts without getting ruled by them and then act in ways that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking patterns through practice and homework. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple exercises that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane collaborates with each client to decide which methods fit best based on their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques so therapy stays practical and relevant to everyday life.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and skill practice, while phone can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to process between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving schedules, or busy days while keeping the focus on progress and usable tools.
