Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapeutic Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take actions that align with what matters most to them. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges that involve feeling stuck or uncertain about purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is commonly used to address anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and many day-to-day struggles by teaching practical skills to shift patterns of thinking and response.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills. DBT can be particularly helpful for intense mood swings, self-harm behaviors, and difficulties managing strong emotions or relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Teddi Plummer works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods or combination of methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and schedules. These options help people fit care into busy lives, maintain continuity of treatment, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
