Therapeutic approaches applied to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It often involves exercises to notice thoughts without getting stuck and choosing steps that align with a fuller life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. It is practical and often includes homework between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people create new ways of relating and regulating emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She often combines elements from different approaches so the plan matches what is happening in the moment rather than following a rigid formula.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues during skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Text and live chat provide shorter check-ins and the ability to work through ideas between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue steady progress over time.
