Therapeutic tools that translate well to online sessions
Catherine Valentine, LCPC, draws from practical, skills-based approaches that can be used effectively in online therapy.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building new ways to respond to stressors. It often supports clients who want structured strategies for concerns like anxiety, low mood, and confidence.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most to them. This approach can be especially useful when life feels stuck or when grief, stress, or major transitions are shaping daily life.
Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes paying attention to the present moment with less reactivity. Clients often use mindfulness skills to steady emotions, reduce overwhelm, and create more space for intentional choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Catherine works collaboratively with clients to choose strategies that align with their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities.
Online therapy also offers flexibility in how support happens - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to stay consistent with care and fit therapy into a busy schedule.
