Approaches used online and what they do
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing difficult life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, mood issues, and sleep problems. Mindfulness-based work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and daily life. That means trying different tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress is tracked.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make some skill practices more convenient to do between sessions. Licensed professionals tailor session pace and homework to match a person's schedule and needs.
