Online support

How EMDR, ACT, and CBT can fit into online care

EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps people process upsetting memories and reduce their emotional charge. In online sessions this can involve guided sets of attention and discussion about the memory to help shift how it feels and fits into a person’s story.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and life transitions by teaching skills to accept inner experience and focus on meaningful behavior.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at thoughts, behaviors, and moods. It teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits for sleep, mood, cravings, and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that seem to fit. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer work and skills practice. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief therapeutic tools without scheduling a full call. These options make therapy more flexible for work, caregiving, or travel.
