How these approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for mood disorders, panic, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication, which can help with overwhelming emotions and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Angie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She combines methods as needed and adjusts the plan over time so sessions fit the person rather than forcing one technique.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats may be shorter or use audio only when that better suits the moment, and some involve step-by-step skill practice that you can apply between sessions.
