Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Cole commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy into online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and stress. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice difficult feelings and move toward actions that fit their values even when emotions are uncomfortable.He also uses attachment-informed conversation to look at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and closeness. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals and preferences and suggest methods that match those needs over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation useful for skills practice. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain steady progress.
