Therapeutic approaches for remote care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and then take small, value-driven steps. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools for shifting unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build new, healthier ways of relating when attachment wounds show up.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Eric treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit the person's needs, goals, and preferences. He often blends approaches so sessions match what the client wants to try and how quickly they want to change.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief updates or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going during busy schedules, life changes, or travel while working with a licensed professional.
