How Corey's Approaches Translate Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for ongoing anxiety, life transitions and motivation issues.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with stress because it gives clear strategies to practise between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on understanding and shifting emotional responses in close relationships. It can help people improve communication, manage hurt and rebuild connection where intimacy has become strained.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Corey will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then tailor methods to what seems most helpful. That collaborative approach means the therapy plan can change if something else would work better.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging work well for people who prefer writing or want flexible, on-the-go contact. Together these formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue progress between meetings.
