Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Jessica Canty, LICSW, draws from evidence-informed approaches that work well in an online setting and can be tailored to concerns like stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and the impact of difficult life experiences.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while taking steps toward values-based goals. It can be especially helpful when life changes, uncertainty, or workplace pressure make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, emotions, and actions, helping clients practice new ways of responding to unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy supports learning to pause, ground, and build awareness, which can be useful when stress or overwhelm starts to take over.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jessica collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped before, and choose strategies that fit the client’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy can make support easier to access and simpler to maintain amid a busy schedule. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone, with the option of live chat or text-based messaging to stay connected between sessions and keep momentum going.
