04Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Gabrielle commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that match their values. This can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with concrete experiments, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with everyday stress.She also brings a client-centered stance to the work, offering empathetic listening and reflection so clients feel heard. Figuring out which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist and client try ideas, track what helps, and adjust the plan together based on goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and use visual tools. Phone sessions can fit a short break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make quick check-ins, homework support, or mood tracking easier between appointments. These options help people access regular care without large travel or schedule changes, while still working on the same therapeutic tools as in-person sessions.
