Online therapy grounded in practical, evidence-based care
Nancy Brighton draws from several established approaches that can be adapted to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practicing alternatives that better support day-to-day functioning, which can be especially helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes building skills to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. It can support clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled off course by worry or painful experiences. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which many people find useful when relationships feel tense or emotions feel hard to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nancy works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals and preferences, then adjusts the focus and pacing to fit what they need most in the moment.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to get consistent support, keep momentum between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy schedule.
