04Online support
Practical approaches for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, life purpose questions, and shifting how someone responds to stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low self-esteem, and workplace stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can help during intense relationship conflicts or high-stress periods.
Figuring out the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying one approach first and adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are good for longer, face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work around bandwidth limits. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates, brief skill practice, or when scheduling a session is difficult. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping care consistent.
