Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and build new coping skills. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, known as ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that matter to the person. It can help with life transitions, motivation, and persistent worry. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so people can explore their feelings and find their own solutions; this approach shapes how Janet works across formats.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Janet talks with each person about goals and preferences and then suggests methods to try. She treats therapy as a collaboration, adjusting techniques if something isn’t helping and checking in about what’s working.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skill demonstrations, while phone calls can be easier when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue progress from wherever a person is located.
