Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Debra Gionet draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can work well in an online format. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new skills that support steadier mood, reduced anxiety, and more effective coping in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult emotions while taking practical steps toward what matters most, which can be especially helpful during life transitions, stress, and relationship strain. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach often used to help clients process distressing experiences and lessen how strongly old memories affect the present.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Debra collaborates with each client to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the pace and methods accordingly. The focus stays on building insight and skills that fit the client’s real-world circumstances.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get consistent support alongside work, family responsibilities, and changing schedules.
