Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and commit to small actions that match those values while learning to sit with difficult feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic health problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through clear exercises and practice between sessions. It can help with low mood, worry, and stress related to medical issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current bonds and communication, and it can be useful for improving connection and reducing loneliness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brent will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. He uses that conversation to choose or combine methods so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single style.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity when life gets unpredictable. Online sessions also allow for shorter check-ins or focused skill-practice that can be easier to schedule around medical appointments or caregiving duties.
