How Julianna’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that add meaning to daily life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It uses simple exercises and homework to shift unhelpful thoughts and build new routines for mood and stress management.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment attention and simple breathing or noticing practices. These skills reduce reactivity and can ease panic, stress, and social anxiety when practiced regularly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and skills practice. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or shorter exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping focus on practical steps and skill building.
