Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches with Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult emotions rather than avoid them. It can be particularly helpful for worry, chronic stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - tools often used when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.

Kellie uses these approaches as part of a collaborative process, working with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She frames therapy as a joint effort to experiment with strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan over time to find the best fit.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, practice skills in real time, and stay connected with a licensed professional from locations that suit the client, supporting consistency and accessibility in care.
