Therapeutic approaches and online care
Laura Todd often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her work. ACT helps clients clarify personal values and commit to actions that support a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and improve coping. DBT teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier interpersonal interactions, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laura works with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts strategies over time as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists frequently combine elements from these approaches to meet individual priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and access consistent support from a distance, while still working closely with a therapist on goals and daily challenges.
