How Victoria’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress by practicing skills that change reactions to everyday situations.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can be useful during life transitions and identity work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide whether CBT, ACT, or elements of client-centered or solution-focused work best for a particular concern.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video is good for deeper conversational work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging lets people check in between sessions or use shorter exchanges. These options make it easier to keep up with therapy around work, family, and daily routines.
