How Rebecca’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, avoidance, and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust strategies over time. Clients and the therapist work together to blend skill practice, values work, and relational understanding so therapy feels relevant and doable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits your schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send brief updates, ask quick questions between sessions, or do check-ins without being on camera. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives while still using ACT and CBT tools and attachment-focused ideas.
