How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and committing to actions that match personal values. It can help when anxiety or avoidance limits social or work activities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to reduce unhelpful patterns. It is often used for stress, anxiety and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental conversation where the person sets the pace and topics for therapy.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different methods and checking in about what is helpful.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week, reduced travel time and easier scheduling around work or caregiving. If you want to begin, confirm the session formats available when booking since exact options are not specified here. The therapist uses her clinical approaches to shape online sessions so they focus on real life challenges and steps you can take between meetings.
