Evidence-based approaches for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life, even when difficult feelings are present. It is often useful for people facing anxiety, depression, or uncertainty about life direction.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to shift them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and mood regulation.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to support people dealing with intense emotions, relationship challenges, and impulsivity.
Masi approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits their goals, preferences, and circumstances. The therapist and client explore options together and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles and time zones. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent work with licensed professionals and therapists, support continuity during life changes, and expand access for international clients and those with busy schedules.
