How Tina’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and practical problems by teaching concrete skills and exercises to practice between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people clarify values and take actions that match those values, which can be useful for grief, trauma, and life changes.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean combining CBT skills with ACT exercises and some client-centered listening to make a plan that feels workable.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for full conversations and skill practice. Phone calls can be lighter on bandwidth and easier during a short break. Live chat or text messaging can work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers not to use video. These options make it easier to keep consistent work on goals even with a busy life.
