Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Bethany Sparkman draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online format. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new responses to stress, anxiety, and anger triggers.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult emotions while identifying personal values and taking steps that align with the life they want to live. It can be especially helpful when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed and wants a clearer sense of direction. For clients impacted by trauma and abuse, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach that helps process distressing memories in a guided way, with the goal of reducing how disruptive those experiences feel in the present.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Bethany works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals and preferences, then adjusts the pace and strategies to fit what is most helpful over time.

Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone sessions, with additional options like live chat or text-based messaging to support ongoing reflection and skill practice between appointments.
