Practical therapy approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to actions aligned with those values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by teaching acceptance and values-based steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches skills for mood, sleep, and coping with difficult situations. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding without judgment, creating space for people to explore their feelings at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Leanne will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She often blends methods and adjusts them as progress and needs change, so the plan can evolve with the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different life demands. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions remove travel barriers; live chat and text-based messaging let people check in or work through moments between meetings. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice new skills in real time.

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.
