How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, low self-worth, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life changes, which can help with depression, anxiety, and self-esteem work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, useful for anger, mood swings, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kathleen works collaboratively to see which methods fit each person’s goals and preferences. She will discuss options, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps the client make steady progress.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since specifics are set by the therapist. Many people find that working online makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time. Online work can also make it simpler to keep consistent appointments during life transitions and to practice skills in everyday settings where problems actually happen.
