How CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Online

Dr. Alexander commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Online sessions make it simple to practice skills in real life and return to discuss what worked and what didn’t. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and build committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can make their own choices about next steps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Over the first few sessions the plan can be adjusted based on what feels most useful and doable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video offers face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or continuing work between longer sessions.
