Online support
How ACT and CBT translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them, then take actions that match their personal values. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-worth, and when life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches simple practices to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and habits. CBT is often used for managing anxiety and depression and for developing coping skills.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Ritchie will talk with each person about goals and try strategies that fit their life. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, or a mix of ideas makes the most sense and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and try exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can fit brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between fuller sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping the focus on practical change.
