How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with them. It helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by teaching ways to move forward even when feelings are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and emphasizes empathy, listening, and collaborative pacing to help people feel heard and make their own changes.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Heather will work with each person to choose and adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so work feels relevant and doable.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Because the therapist's specific session formats are not listed here, confirm current options before booking. Expect online work to include the same kinds of conversation and skill practice as in-person care, with attention to what helps you engage and make progress.
