Online support

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Dr. Igboanusi uses several evidence-based approaches that adapt well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult feelings. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused approach that can be used to lessen distress linked to traumatic memories when appropriate for the client's goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options and collaborate with each person to decide what fits best based on goals, comfort level, and how quickly someone wants practical tools versus deeper processing. The plan can change as therapy progresses and needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care when schedules or locations change.
