How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions where avoidance has become a pattern. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior in concrete ways, offering tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and change reactions that cause trouble. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding; the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities so people feel heard as they set goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Sessions can mix approaches over time, and she adjusts strategies based on what is helpful in practice.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow scheduling during workday breaks, or let someone choose sessions that don’t require video. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping momentum between appointments and practicing skills in real-world settings.
