Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice tough thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values and small committed actions to move toward the life someone cares about, often used for anxiety, anger, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behaviors, which can help with stress, depression, and anger management.
Client-centered therapy centers the person’s perspective and pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects what’s said, and helps people make their own choices about change and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She blends techniques as needed and checks in regularly to see what is helping.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, flexible exchanges during the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress steady.
