Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with meaningful living by clarifying priorities and building practical skills.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a collaborative relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead. This humanistic approach supports self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, and life transitions by creating a space where clients feel heard and supported.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and learning concrete strategies to change them. It is commonly applied to anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stress and can be adapted for work on addictive behaviors and trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Susan Eaton works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility for people juggling busy schedules or limited mobility. Sessions may take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage in therapy from different settings while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
