Online support

How key approaches shape online therapy

Samantha often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce worry and low mood. CBT is practical and action-focused, which can make online sessions feel productive and concrete.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps clients identify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. ACT can be useful for coping with grief, chronic illness, and ongoing anxiety by shifting the focus from symptom elimination to meaningful living.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha collaborates with each person to choose methods that match needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options, tries tools together, and adjusts plans based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone can fit a quick check-in when bandwidth is limited, and chat or texting can support short reflections or between-session check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
