Online approaches that fit busy parents
Eileen often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating parenting choices.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills to change reactions. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and everyday parenting stresses.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Eileen will discuss your goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together you can try strategies and adjust the plan based on what produces real, manageable change.
Online therapy offers several flexible options: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or multitasking is a concern, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These formats let people fit sessions into work breaks, school schedules, or while traveling, and make it easier to maintain consistency when life gets busy.
