Therapeutic Tools for Real Life, Delivered Online

Dr. Christie Spence Joyner draws from evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, while reconnecting with personal values and taking practical steps toward the life they want. It can be especially helpful for stress, anxiety, and adjusting to life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. In sessions, clients learn to identify unhelpful patterns, practice new ways of responding, and build skills that support mood, relationships, and day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Joyner collaborates with clients to understand what they are facing, what matters most to them, and what style of support fits best, adjusting the work over time based on goals and preferences.

Online therapy also makes it easier to get consistent support in a format that fits real schedules. Sessions can take place by video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility and continuity between appointments.
