Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on connecting actions to what matters most. It helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers sessions on the person's experience and priorities, offering empathy and support as clients work through decisions and challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Isabel will discuss goals, preferences, and life demands to decide which methods fit best. That collaborative planning helps shape sessions so they feel useful and manageable for each person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible, brief exchanges that can fit into busy days or provide ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain momentum and access care around work, parenting, or other responsibilities.
