How Brett’s approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then move toward values-based action. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with depression, anxiety, and problem behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can help with intimacy-related issues and parenting struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brett will discuss what matters to the client, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps pick techniques that feel useful and realistic for each person.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful when seeing facial cues matters, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or during a break at work, and text or chat can be a quicker way to check in between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care when in-person meetings are not practical.
