Online approaches that focus on skills and values
Danielle uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves clear exercises and experiments to test new ways of coping and thinking, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and impulsivity issues.She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people clarify what matters most to them and take action toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings are present. ACT can be especially helpful for managing persistent worry, low motivation, or the frustrations that come with ADHD challenges.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Danielle will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you work in real time and practice skills together. Phone sessions are available when bandwidth is limited or for easier check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or use written coaching when that feels more practical. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving schedules.
