How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with long-term health issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviours to reduce distress and improve routines such as sleep or eating. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasises practical emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense feelings and relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt them as therapy progresses in a collaborative way.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the specific session options before booking as formats are not listed in full here. Rachel has experience providing telephone and virtual therapy in the past, and online work can make it easier to fit sessions around caregiving, work and treatment for chronic illness. Remote sessions can also allow shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling and fewer travel demands, helping therapy slot into a busy life.
