Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values despite difficult feelings. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where avoidance has become a problem.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift thinking patterns that keep problems stuck. CBT offers concrete strategies for mood, sleep, and anxiety concerns and often includes short exercises between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This collaborative process keeps sessions focused and practical.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face interaction and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while keeping continuity of care.
