Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, and then take values-based action toward a life they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for intense emotions or recurring relationship conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brooke will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as progress is made.
Brooke provides online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls are useful for full conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to use video. Live chat or text messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between sessions.
