Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps aligned with those values. It is often used when anxiety, avoidance, or life changes make it hard to move forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and try more effective patterns. It is practical and skill-focused, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences and adjusts plans as progress is made. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and doable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and needs. Video calls are helpful for a fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging work well for short updates, homework ideas, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit care into busy lives.
