Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Clara commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward them even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Clara will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed, so therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when schedules allow and are good for teaching skills that benefit from visual demonstration. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option when video is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or when a short written touchpoint fits someone's day. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to practice new skills between sessions.
