Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Spaulding commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behavior through skill practice, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values, acceptance of difficult emotions, and committed action to build a meaningful life when symptoms feel overwhelming.

He also draws on client-centered principles that prioritize listening and building a respectful relationship. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative: the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan as needed. That way the work fits the person's situation and preferences rather than following a fixed script.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options allow scheduling around work, caregiving, and travel while keeping therapy consistent with daily life.
