Online approaches that fit day-to-day family life
Dr. Billingsley often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can help with parenting stress, anxiety, and big life transitions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing reactions in relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to choose and adapt methods based on their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when a shorter touchpoint is needed. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, and other commitments.
