Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Rebecca Boardman integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and some behavioral concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-guided action and learning to live with difficult thoughts or emotions while pursuing meaningful goals, which can help with stress, avoidance, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined collaboratively. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and symptoms and then recommend strategies or combine methods to best fit those needs. This collaborative planning helps ensure sessions remain practical and focused on measurable steps forward.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult and allow for skill practice, check-ins, and therapeutic activities in ways that fit into everyday life.
