How Kerre’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people develop healthier ways of relating and feeling secure. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep disruption.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kerre will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for full sessions and visual connection, phone can be a good low-bandwidth option, short check-ins work well by text or chat, and messaging can support day-to-day coping and skill practice. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping care consistent.
