How LeNora Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

LeNora commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot patterns of thought that increase worry or low mood and then try practical behavior changes to test new ways of coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and building willingness to accept uncomfortable feelings while moving toward meaningful goals.

She also brings a client-centered stance that keeps the client's preferences front and center. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together when something feels off or progress stalls.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow full interaction and visual cues, while phone sessions can work better when lower bandwidth or a simpler setup is needed. Live chat and text can be used for brief check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
