How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and take small, practical steps toward them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes by focusing on what matters rather than only reducing symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete tools like thought records and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Psychodynamic ideas look at how past relationships and life events shape current patterns, which can help people understand recurring reactions and improve long-term coping.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Bennett will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences, combining skills-based exercises with deeper exploration when that serves the client best.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, quick coping tips, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a routine and try different formats to see what works.
