Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or emotions are present. It supports work on anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility and values-based choices.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where the person’s own insights and strengths guide the process. This approach is useful for identity exploration, relationship concerns, and fostering self-acceptance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stressful situations.

Finding the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. Diane works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, blending methods as appropriate so treatment fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support while adapting to each person’s routine and communication style.
