How therapy approaches translate to online work
Courtney uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online options, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time so people can use breaks at work or evenings for sessions. Therapists can also adapt exercises and homework for use between meetings, which helps skills build in everyday life.
