Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Irene often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and commit to meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and patterns that get in the way of life goals.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical approach that examines the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps clients develop new skills for regulating mood and handling everyday challenges. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving in relationships and work.
Mindfulness-based techniques are integrated to help people build present-moment awareness and reduce reactive patterns, supporting better emotional regulation and stress management. Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process; Irene works collaboratively with each person to identify approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives or to stay consistent when in-person visits are difficult. These options increase accessibility and allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide ongoing support in formats that many clients find convenient and effective.
