How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Hughes Bise uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as core ways to help clients. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new behaviors to change outcomes. ACT helps people name what matters to them and take committed action even when emotions are difficult.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That work often involves noticing how people connect and learning different ways to relate that feel safer and more satisfying. Together with the client, the therapist considers which approach or combination will best match the client's goals and day-to-day life. Figuring out the right fit is a collaborative process that can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video is useful for full sessions and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support shorter check-ins, and messaging helps track thoughts between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or school schedules and to continue steady work toward goals.
