Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a more meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. It is often useful for anxiety, low motivation, and stress-related problems.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve coping skills. It is commonly applied to depression, anxiety, sleep disruptions, and anger management.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships that stem from early bonds and aims to improve emotional connection, trust, and communication, making it helpful for relationship, intimacy, and attachment-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Deborah works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adapts techniques from different models to create a tailored plan that evolves over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to fit therapy into busy lives, access therapists from different locations, and continue care during life transitions. Licensed professionals can still deliver meaningful, structured work through these formats while accommodating scheduling and geographic constraints.
