Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Dr. Felder-Jones uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that are easy to follow. CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new skills to change them. It helps with addictions, mood shifts, and relationship patterns. ACT emphasizes clarifying values, accepting difficult feelings, and taking committed action toward what matters most, which can be useful for chronic stress and long-term life choices.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their situation. That collaborative process means techniques are adjusted over time based on what helps the person make steady progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and fuller conversation for deeper sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for short updates, homework feedback, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while working with licensed professionals.
