Online support

Practical approaches for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck by exploring ambivalence and strengthening motivation for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karla will collaborate with each person to see which methods match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts tools as needs change. The process is goal-oriented and shared, so clients help shape the plan from the start.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep regular sessions and try techniques between meetings.
