Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Kevin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It often involves practical exercises and at-home practice that fit well with remote sessions.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and commit to actions that match their values. This approach pairs well with mindfulness exercises and short skill practices between meetings.

Finding the right method is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan based on what feels useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work with lower bandwidth, live chat can be helpful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility to fit sessions into work, parenting schedules, or other routines while keeping therapy practical and ongoing.
