Online Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action. It can be especially helpful for people dealing with stress, persistent worry, or life changes who want to live in line with what matters most to them.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, genuine presence, and collaboration. In this approach the therapist offers nonjudgmental support so clients can explore their experience, strengthen self-understanding, and build confidence in making changes, which is useful for relationship and identity concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, coping skills training, and managing day-to-day stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Sonia will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This may include combining elements from different approaches to create a personalized plan.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care. For many people, these options increase accessibility and make it simpler to engage consistently with licensed professionals and therapists while working toward their goals.
