Online support

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions that match those values. It helps when life feels stuck or when worry and avoidance get in the way of meaningful goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thinking that keep problems going and teaches practical tools to change those patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and managing daily stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, centers on building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. Learning these skills can reduce intense reactions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, listen to current struggles, and try techniques to see what fits best. Together you can adjust methods as needs and preferences evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for longer conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break during the day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other life demands.
