Therapeutic approaches in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on values and small, committed actions. It helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and gives clear exercises to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better relationships when emotions feel intense.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk about goals, review what has helped before, and try methods that fit the person’s preferences and needs. Over time the plan can shift if something isn’t working or priorities change.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for full conversations that mimic in-person sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when a lower bandwidth connection is needed or a quieter routine suits the client. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between meetings or have shorter, focused exchanges when that better fits a busy day. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into real life and maintain continuity of care.
