About Candice

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It uses mindfulness and practical exercises to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clear skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often using short at-home practice tasks to build new habits. Mindfulness-based work trains simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce stress and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try strategies that fit the situation, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps pick methods that feel useful and realistic for daily life.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to use the type of contact that feels most comfortable. Practical tools and exercises from ACT, CBT, and mindfulness can be assigned between sessions and reviewed during remote meetings to support steady progress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
