Practical approaches for online emotional work
Hayley draws on cognitive behavioral methods that help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT involves identifying triggering thoughts, testing them, and practicing new skills to reduce anxiety, low mood, or impulsive reactions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. ACT is helpful for managing strong emotions like anger or ongoing pain by teaching acceptance strategies and committed actions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Hayley will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are convenient for brief check-ins, homework support, or people who write more comfortably than they speak. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
