Approaches that guide online sessions
Rebecca draws from evidence-based approaches to build practical skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take committed action, even when uncomfortable emotions are present.Those methods are combined in a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which technique or mix of techniques matches their goals and preferences. Together they set small, achievable steps and adjust the plan as progress or obstacles appear.
Online formats make fitting therapy into a busy life easier. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework review, and ongoing encouragement between appointments. These options let people pick what best matches their schedule and comfort while keeping consistent care available.
