Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions because it focuses on what matters most and small steps toward those goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills to reframe unhelpful thinking, change avoidance patterns, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase presence. It pairs well with ACT and CBT when someone needs tools to manage stress in the moment.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan over time. Clients are invited to say what feels useful and what does not, so the work stays relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, between-session coaching, or when a shorter format fits a busy day.
