Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Dr. Wright commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing new ways of responding to reduce distress and improve coping.She approaches choice of method collaboratively. During early sessions she talks with clients about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize values-based ACT work, skill-building CBT, or a more client-centered exploration of meaning and identity.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different needs. Video sessions work well for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good fit when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging lets people share between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations.
