Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and problem behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal skills; it can be helpful for anger and emotional regulation issues.Nancy treats finding the right approach as a collaborative step. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what methods feel most useful. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan based on what is working and what is not, moving at a pace the client can manage.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect that make ongoing work easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from seeing one another. Phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option for when video is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, send short updates, or get brief coaching without scheduling a full meeting. These options increase flexibility for fitting therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
