Approaches that fit online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking steps toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It helps people with anxiety, depression, and life changes by teaching acceptance and committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for mood problems, ADHD-related routines, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation; it pairs well with other methods for trauma and anxiety.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Dr. Prescod will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. He adjusts techniques over time based on what is helping and what isn’t, so the plan evolves with the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit into a busy day. Live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact while fitting therapy into real life.
