Evidence-informed approaches that work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and stress because it emphasizes doing what matters even with difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Catherine will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts the mix of approaches as progress is made, and she involves caregivers when that helps the work move forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and texting can help with quick skill reminders and brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use the approach that best supports day-to-day progress.
