How Loni's Approaches Work for Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven actions even when feelings are uncomfortable. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, chronic health challenges, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and managing emotional triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Loni will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps.

Confirm current session formats before booking to know how a first meeting will take place. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in during a break. It also lets a therapist guide practical exercises and homework that connect directly to daily routines. If you want to explore these approaches remotely, the therapist will help tailor sessions to your schedule and needs.
