How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Cannady often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which often helps with stress, sleeping problems, and mood regulation.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting strategies, and trying different tools until a good fit emerges.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to get regular support. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, homework support, or shorter conversations between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to use alongside daily responsibilities.
