Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Ida Ham uses a mix of practical approaches to meet different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where avoidance has become limiting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to address problematic habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ida collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. This collaborative stance helps tailor a plan that feels workable and relevant.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, and options for live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to access care around work, family, and life demands. These formats support continuity of care and make it possible to engage in therapy from familiar settings while working toward meaningful change.
