How therapy approaches guide online care

Dr. Temple commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different responses to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily challenges to decide which methods to try first. People often adjust the mix of techniques over several sessions until something fits their needs.

Many people find that online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can also make it simpler to practice strategies in the settings where problems happen, like managing anxiety at work or using tools for concentration at home.
