How his approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to clarify values and set small, meaningful goals for daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on clear, practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In remote sessions, CBT often uses worksheets, behavior experiments, and short homework tasks to track progress between meetings. EMDR-informed work addresses the impact of past distress by guiding attention while processing memories; elements of this approach can be adapted for video or phone sessions when appropriate for the person's needs.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. This collaborative process means techniques can shift across sessions as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and using visual tools. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or texting can work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone wants written reflections. These options aim to make therapy fit work, family, and daily life while keeping therapeutic continuity.
