Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Antoinette often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's experience. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client's own pace so goals emerge collaboratively. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work; the therapist and client decide together what fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow fuller interaction and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, live chat can work for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into busy lives.
