Therapeutic approaches you can try online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take value-based actions even when difficult feelings appear. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It often helps with panic, mood challenges, and obsessive thinking.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Lori will discuss options based on a person’s goals, symptoms, and daily life. She collaborates with clients to try approaches and adjusts plans when something isn’t working, keeping the focus on practical gains.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is a good match when visual cues and a face-to-face feel matter. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a short check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and messaging can support quick coaching, homework check-ins, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
