How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people get clear on what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Online sessions can guide goal setting and practice between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and changing behaviors that worsen mood or anxiety, with concrete exercises to try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christy will collaborate on which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and lifestyle. She adapts techniques based on how someone responds and the pace they prefer.

Online formats let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief, on-the-go support and are helpful for quick skill practice or tracking mood between sessions.
