Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions when someone wants to reduce getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change feelings and outcomes; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will discuss options and tailor techniques to a client’s goals and preferences. Decisions about which methods to use are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions let you talk face-to-face when you prefer visual contact. Phone sessions are useful for lower bandwidth or when you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging are practical for brief updates, written coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats help fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
