04Online support
Practical therapy approaches and online options
Yolanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. ACT can help with anxiety, worry, and getting unstuck from habits that no longer serve a person.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and focuses on testing and changing unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and behavior changes related to addiction or eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose or blend techniques based on the individual's goals, needs, and preferences rather than following a single method from the start.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines while keeping continuity of care.
