Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, and it often includes practical exercises you can try between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current trust and closeness, which can help with intimacy, relationship stress, and healing from past hurts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lucia will listen to your concerns and goals, then suggest methods that fit your needs. She discusses options with you and adjusts the plan based on how you respond and what feels most useful in practice.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to regular support. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions are a good choice when bandwidth is low or a camera isn't wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping tools, or when you prefer writing to speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and try different formats to see what works best.
