04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Erin commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while focusing on values-based actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily life to choose or combine methods. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what works and what the person prefers, so the plan evolves with progress and feedback.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and try different ways of connecting to see what feels most helpful.
