Using CBT and ACT online to build practical coping skills

Talisha commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills such as breaking problems into smaller steps, testing negative thoughts, and practicing new ways of coping in daily life.

She also integrates acceptance and commitment therapy, which encourages noticing difficult feelings without getting stuck and choosing actions that align with what matters most. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how close relationships shape feelings and reactions, and to help people improve communication and connection.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Talisha will talk with clients about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as work progresses. Early sessions are used to set goals and agree on steps to try between meetings.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be a quick check-in or work better with poor internet, and chat or text supports shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching-style contact. These options let people fit sessions around work, family, and daily life while accessing licensed professionals.
