Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It helps with anxiety, stress, and major life changes by teaching practical actions you can try between sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build healthier habits, which can ease symptoms of depression, anxiety, and workplace stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jordan collaborates with each person to blend methods based on needs, goals, and personal preference. She encourages trying techniques and adjusting them until something fits the client's life and rhythm.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can be useful on the go, and live chat or text-based messaging provide brief check-ins and support between appointments. These options make it easier to practice skills regularly and stay connected to the therapist while managing daily responsibilities.

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.
