Approaches you can use in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and situations where motivation or purpose feels unclear.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers empathy and supports the person in finding their own solutions, which can be helpful for relationship and parenting concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Harmon will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then recommend methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions around busy family schedules and geographical limits. They also make it easier to check in between meetings or choose a style that feels most comfortable while keeping the focus on practical, goal-oriented 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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
