Online therapy: approaches and formats
Grace offers online care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow for different pacing and styles of interaction, from real-time conversation by video or phone to shorter check-ins through chat or messaging. Each format can be used to focus on practical skills, reflective work, or day-to-day coping depending on client needs.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take actions that align with what matters to them, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns and practice skillful alternatives. Somatic Therapy is used when attention to bodily sensations and regulation supports emotional work. These approaches are described in accessible terms and are chosen to match what a person is ready to work on.
Working online is presented as a collaborative process. Grace tailors the mix of approaches and the communication format to fit individual preferences, whether someone is managing parenting challenges, relationship concerns, or life transitions.
