How Nathalie’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily routines. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. This approach supports coping with painful emotions and making committed changes. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and listening, giving people space to talk and find their own direction while the therapist follows and reflects what they share.

Finding the right approach is often a process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches so the plan fits what the client wants to try and learn.

Online sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and practice work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for work schedules, caregiving demands, or when travel is difficult, while keeping therapy focused on concrete skills and progress.
