Approaches that translate to online care
Princilla commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people name their values and take small steps toward them even when feelings are hard. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and decisions that feel stuck. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to build practical skills for mood, sleep, and stress management. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with daily challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Princilla will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set clear, manageable steps that can be practiced between sessions and adjusted over time.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls let people practice skills in real time and keep visual cues in the conversation. Phone sessions can be a good alternative when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for quick check-ins, brief skill reminders, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
