How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and values-driven change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, mood, and problem behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills, which can aid people managing intense emotions and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She often combines techniques so clients get practical tools and a plan they can try between sessions.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and making it easier to keep appointments during work or family commitments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before scheduling. Online sessions can make it simpler to maintain momentum between meetings and to use worksheets, guided exercises, and skills coaching in real time.
