Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Julia draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to inform her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that align with what matters most - it can be helpful for chronic stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and offers practical strategies for reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and unconditional positive regard, creating a respectful space for clients to explore identity, relationships, and meaning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Julia works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, support accessibility from home or other locations, and allow therapists and clients to choose the mode of communication that best supports the work ahead.
