Therapeutic approaches for online anxiety and stress work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying personal values and committing to small actions that match those values. It helps people facing anxiety, grief, or life changes by shifting focus from avoiding feelings to building a meaningful life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Geraldine uses CBT techniques to help people test unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and reduce symptoms like worry or low mood.
Geraldine views finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit. If something does not help, she adjusts the plan so it better matches the person's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can work when bandwidth is low, live chat and messaging provide brief check-ins or reflective exchanges between longer sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people continue care during busy or shifting schedules.
