Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online healing and meaning

Dr. Hanket-Held commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and trauma-focused methods alongside existential ideas to help people who are struggling. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them, learn simple skills to handle difficult thoughts and feelings, and take actions that match their values. Trauma-focused therapy focuses on addressing the impact of past traumatic events and reducing symptoms that interfere with daily life.

She also brings existential perspectives into sessions to help people reflect on meaning, choice, and responsibility when facing life changes. Finding the right blend of methods is part of the first sessions. The therapist and client work together to choose techniques that match goals, comfort level, and the practical issues the person wants to address.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a brief check-in option, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving forward.
