How evidence-based approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and build small actions that match those values. It is useful for stress, avoidance, and life changes that feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions teach concrete skills to shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleeping or eating concerns.
Patti takes a collaborative stance when choosing an approach. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and pick methods that fit. That means trying techniques together and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow quick exchanges, brief coaching, and follow-up between sessions so ideas can be applied during the week.
