Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling blocked by avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then testing new ways of responding with concrete exercises. It often helps with panic, low mood, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and calm the nervous system.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Raven will work with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals, daily routine, and what feels most helpful. Sessions may mix approaches over time so clients can try skills and change course based on what actually helps.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and guided skills practice. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and work well for check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are handy for short updates, coaching-style prompts, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and support ongoing progress between meetings.
