Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Ainsley commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change thought patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or stress. CBT focuses on practical exercises and step-by-step tasks that can be practiced between sessions and reviewed over video or text.

She also uses other evidence-based techniques tailored to each person’s situation, including strategies for coping with chronic illness, grief, and life transitions. These approaches focus on building skills for emotion regulation, pacing activities, and improving communication, which are useful in medical or caregiving contexts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will decide collaboratively which methods fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences, and they will adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video sessions are helpful for seeing facial cues and doing guided exercises. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people stay connected between sessions and share quick updates or reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy or medically complex lives.
