Online support

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Jeff commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms and improve daily routine. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when uncomfortable feelings are present.

He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, when it fits the goals. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of disturbing memories by processing them alongside guided attention tasks; it can be used for trauma-related symptoms and related distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Work is collaborative and may mix techniques over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quicker check-ins, and messaging supports brief reflections or ongoing check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and changing needs.
