Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and parenting pressures by shifting focus from fighting thoughts to building habits that match priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It is practical for depression, anxiety, impulsivity, and coping with life changes because it gives concrete tools to try between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing is a brief, goal-focused style that supports change when someone feels stuck. It is useful for addictions, ambivalence about treatment, and any situation that benefits from clearer motivation and small next steps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kennan will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and day-to-day demands. He adjusts techniques over time based on what is helping and what isn’t.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls work well for full sessions that include visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching between appointments, or when a shorter, written format feels better. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and practice new skills in real time.
