Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven action. It teaches practical exercises to accept feelings while committing to small steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers tools to change unhelpful patterns through doable practice. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and connection patterns, and it supports building more supported ways of relating in current relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danica will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. She treats therapy as a collaboration, adjusting techniques if something isn’t working and adding skill-building tasks that clients can use during the week.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues, phone works with lower bandwidth or when talking is easier, live chat lets for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and travel while keeping momentum on goals.
