Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
John Cloud, LCSW, draws from several established approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, while focusing on choices that align with personal values. This can be especially useful when anxiety, depression, or life transitions make it hard to feel grounded.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) supports clients in identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and the behaviors that keep them stuck, then practicing new skills over time. It is often used to address stress, worry, low mood, and challenges related to daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy can also help clients explore how early and ongoing relationship experiences shape current needs, boundaries, and connection, which may be relevant for relationship concerns, isolation, or family dynamics.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. John works collaboratively with each client to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that fit the person and the concerns they want to address.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent with care and get support in a format that fits real-world schedules and comfort levels.
