How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small, committed steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings that come up. ACT can be useful for chronic anxiety, low mood, and life transitions where motivation and direction matter.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing new ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and mood concerns by teaching practical exercises and homework to change daily routines.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. These tools help when feelings feel overwhelming or when relationships and impulse control are a challenge.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to each person’s goals, preferences, and current needs, and may blend elements from different approaches as helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone calls can fit a shorter break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, homework review, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to schedule consistent care around work, family, and other commitments.
