Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Dr. Nkem Anene draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be applied effectively in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, and confidence challenges.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while building actions that align with what matters most to them. It can be a supportive fit when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed by life changes, or wants to strengthen motivation and self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape connection, trust, and closeness, and it can be helpful for relationship strain and intimacy-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Anene works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then tailors sessions accordingly.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and can use live chat or text-based messaging to stay engaged between sessions in a way that fits their schedule and comfort level.
