Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Danielle Zavala, LCSW, draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online therapy setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It can be especially helpful for stress and anxiety by identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing new ways of responding day to day.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes building psychological flexibility - learning to make room for difficult thoughts or feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. This approach can be useful when emotions feel intense or when life circumstances cannot be changed right away.
Attachment-Based Therapy can help clients explore how early and ongoing relationships shape current needs, boundaries, and communication. It is often a good fit for relationship concerns and family conflict, supporting more secure and connected ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Danielle works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and adjust strategies over time so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy also offers flexibility: sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and stay engaged between sessions.
