How Audrey’s Methods Translate to Online Therapy

Audrey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. ACT guides people to clarify values and take committed action, which helps when life feels stuck or meaning is unclear.

She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches to keep sessions grounded in each person's experience. The therapist will work collaboratively to find which method fits best for the client's goals and preferences. Deciding on an approach happens together and can change as needs evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and working through skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are good for brief updates, skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
