How Vanessa’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It’s useful for anxiety, low mood, and getting unstuck from avoidance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It often includes simple exercises and homework to practice new skills between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers specific tools for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better interpersonal effectiveness are common in this work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they pick methods and adjust them over time so the work fits your life.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let you work face to face from different locations, phone sessions are a good low-bandwidth option, and live chat or text-based messaging can serve as shorter check-ins or a way to reflect between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving routines.
