04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, life changes, and when someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through concrete exercises and homework. It often helps with mood, worry, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be helpful for intense emotions and interpersonal conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Meghan will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, and then recommend techniques that fit. The plan can change as progress is made, and choices are made in collaboration so the approach feels useful and manageable.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, coaching between sessions, and people who want written exchanges. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into work, school, or caregiving routines.
