How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and when life feels aimless. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people test and change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression and practical problem-solving.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through what you want to change and suggest methods that fit your goals. Together you can try different ways of working and adapt the approach as you go, so the work remains relevant and manageable.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a headset suits you better. Live chat and text options let people check in quickly, have shorter sessions or keep a written record of what was discussed. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments, and they allow continuity when travel or busy days would otherwise get in the way.
