Therapeutic approaches for online care

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; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which often helps with anxiety, panic, and addictive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance where the therapist reflects what the person says and supports them in finding their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Diane will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps in daily life rather than sticking to one rigid method.

Online therapy with Diane uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier, and sessions can fit around work, school, or other obligations. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and practice new skills between sessions.
