Online support

How these approaches work in online therapy

Dr. Bunch commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the emotional bonds between people and helps identify and change interaction patterns that cause pain; it is often helpful for relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work for emotional processing. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing motivation between longer sessions.
