04Online support
How Stephanie’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It emphasizes choosing actions that match personal values and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical techniques to shift them. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. The plan is collaborative - she checks in often and adjusts techniques based on what helps you make small, steady changes.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a session needs to be shorter. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when writing about thoughts feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to continue care even when routines change.
