Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Dennis Patrick Smith draws from evidence-informed approaches that can fit a wide range of goals, including stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and recovery from difficult experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practicing new skills that support steadier mood, clearer decisions, and healthier coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while staying connected to personal values, which can be especially helpful when life feels stuck or overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotions and connection, supporting people who want to strengthen trust, communication, and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dennis collaborates with clients to clarify what they want to change, what has or has not helped in the past, and what style of therapy feels like a good fit. The focus stays practical and personalized, with goals and pacing shaped around the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility without losing depth. Sessions can happen by video calls or phone sessions, and support may also be available through live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent, fit therapy into a busy schedule, and keep momentum between sessions.
