How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes choosing actions that match personal values while using simple practices to reduce avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior patterns to ease symptoms like anxiety and panic. It often includes straightforward exercises people can try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and daily life. That might mean combining techniques from ACT and CBT or bringing in elements of Attachment-Based Therapy or DBT when relationship dynamics or intense emotions are central. Clients and the therapist plan next steps together and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Rachel provides video calls for full-session conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow quicker skill practice after sessions, and let people choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
