Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and identify what matters most so choices match values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and life changes by shifting attention toward meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with experiments and practice. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger when skills and structured practice are helpful. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and build calm, which supports trauma work and stress management.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods, and adjust work based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where techniques are matched to your needs and preferences rather than set in stone at the start.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you have a face-to-face conversation when you want deeper connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options let people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain momentum between meetings.
