Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behavior, and supports living in line with personal values - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and coping with chronic health challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma-related distress. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides targeted strategies to process and integrate traumatic experiences, reduce reactivity, and improve daily functioning for those affected by abuse or post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Gillian collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress and circumstances evolve. This collaborative process helps create a treatment plan that feels practical and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access consistent care despite busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic distance. Working remotely allows licensed professionals to provide continuity of care and accommodate the communication style that works best for each person.
