Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to change mood and functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Veronica will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include mixing techniques from different approaches over time to see what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when video is not practical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins, homework support, or if someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity of care when life gets in the way.
