Online support

How Renee’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them and then take steps toward what matters. In an online session ACT can be used to clarify values and build small, concrete actions for daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood; online CBT often includes homework and short skill practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anxiety, stress, and body image concerns during life transitions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what is working and what feels useful to the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer practical flexibility. Video works well for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, brief skill coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity during transitions.
