Online support
Approaches that translate to online work
Existential Therapy helps people name what matters most and face big life questions, often guiding conversations about purpose, values, and choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical ways to accept difficult thoughts while taking committed action toward personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Joanne will discuss each method and collaborate with the client to choose what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may shift over time as progress is reviewed and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, more frequent exchanges or written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain momentum between appointments.
