Nancy White, LPC

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It works well for grief, addiction recovery, and parenting stress because it focuses on clear steps people can take between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses empathic listening to help people feel heard and understood. This approach is useful when someone needs space to process loss, trauma, or big life transitions and benefits from steady emotional support.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive behavior. Those skills can be practiced in short exercises, making them a practical fit for phone check-ins or text-based coaching between sessions.

Nancy approaches finding the right method as a team effort. She will discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so therapy can shift toward the techniques that feel most useful.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging works for shorter reflections or homework between meetings. These options increase flexibility and make steady progress more practical for parents and busy adults.
