04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Hannah commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral experiments to change how you feel. ACT helps people clarify values, accept difficult emotions, and take meaningful action toward a life they care about.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hannah will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts strategies over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for a fuller, face-to-face feel; phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free option is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, brief skills practice, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make consistent care more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
