Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that move someone toward those values. It helps when parenting stress, anxiety, or life changes make it hard to act in ways you want to. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical skills to change behavior and mood, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with anger. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people build more supported, trusting connections in adult relationships and parenting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christi will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and will suggest techniques that fit. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, quick skill practice, and flexible contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule and to keep consistent momentum.
