How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around daily stressors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that align with their values, which can be useful for managing avoidance and living through difficult changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build safer, more responsive ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carrie will collaborate with each person to pick or blend methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This means goals are set together and approaches are adjusted as progress is tracked.

It can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone avoid camera use when that helps them focus. Licensed professionals use the methods above to teach coping skills, practice communication moves, and guide exposure to difficult memories or situations in ways that fit everyday schedules.
