How her approaches work in online sessions

Dr. Dalton-Trusty often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments that change reactions and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into small, solvable steps.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take action even when hard feelings are present. ACT supports people coping with life changes, grief, and recurring worries by teaching ways to accept feelings while moving toward meaningful goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She discusses methods with each person and tailors techniques to goals, personality, and preferences. The process is collaborative so clients help decide what feels most useful as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation easier. Video is helpful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
