04Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, then choose behaviors guided by personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on attachment and emotional patterns in relationships, helping people understand and shift how they connect with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what helps most and invites feedback so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when deeper emotional work is needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, building consistency, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing school, work, and caregiving demands.
