Evidence-based approaches for online care
Lisa Smith draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. ACT is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most to the individual and building psychological flexibility.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT provides practical tools for reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns by teaching concrete skills for problem solving and emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa works collaboratively to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these approaches to work effectively in remote formats.
Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and allow people to access care from home or other convenient locations. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes and to integrate therapy into a busy routine.
