Online approaches that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical skills to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance tools for intense emotional reactions and panic episodes.Karyn treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time based on progress and comfort.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face work and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people get support between sessions or use writing when speaking feels hard. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum toward goals.
