Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Onessa Robertson integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take committed action toward meaningful goals while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life transitions where shifting focus from avoidance to valued living can be helpful.
She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a supportive approach that emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and are invited to lead the pace and focus of sessions. This approach can be especially useful for building trust, exploring identity, and processing grief or relational concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another frequent tool in her work, offering practical strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop more effective coping skills for anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Robertson works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility - sessions can occur by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to access support from different locations and schedules. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
