How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and commit to actions that matter to them. It is useful for managing anxiety, stress, life transitions, and issues like ADHD where staying focused on values can guide behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and coping with change. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps process traumatic memories by using structured techniques to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and related symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences and then suggest a mix of methods that fit the client. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, and clients are invited to give feedback about what is working.
Online therapy with Dr. Bowen uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions easier to fit into daily life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when a quick check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, coaching between sessions, and written reminders of tools discussed in sessions. These formats aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent with other responsibilities.
