How Brandi's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps toward them even when feelings are difficult. Online ACT work often focuses on short exercises and actions clients can practice between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical tools and experiments; in remote sessions this looks like guided worksheets, behavioral experiments, and clear homework tasks.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment-focused work, or a blend fits best for the situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for in-depth work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging makes it simple to keep momentum between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible around work, caregiving, and daily life, letting people fit sessions into their routine while working toward clear, practical change.
