How Mary Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then take small actions that move them toward what matters. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions and emphasizes practical steps rather than getting stuck on thoughts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with day-to-day stress by practicing specific techniques between sessions.
Dialytic Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing strong emotions and improving communication. When emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained, DBT skills can help with regulation and problem solving.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then try methods that seem likely to work. Adjustments are made over time based on what the client notices and needs.
Online therapy makes these approaches easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let people work through exercises face-to-face, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low, live chat supports short check-ins, and text-based messaging lets clients send updates or ask quick questions between sessions. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, quieter sessions, and varied ways to practice skills without needing to travel.
