Approaches that guide online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and is often used for anxiety, panic, and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and mindful acceptance, helping clients act toward what matters even when difficult feelings are present. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and early bonds to better understand current conflicts and closeness issues.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that match those needs. Sessions can shift over time as goals change and progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, which make scheduling more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between full sessions, helping therapy fit around work, caregiving, and busy days.
