Therapeutic Approaches That Fit Online Life
Paula Saby draws on evidence-informed approaches that can translate well to online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, while building practical steps toward what matters most. It is often useful when stress, anxiety, or life transitions make it hard to stay grounded.Motivational Interviewing offers a supportive, collaborative way to work with ambivalence. It can help when motivation feels stuck, confidence is low, or a client wants to strengthen follow-through on changes related to parenting, self-esteem, or daily coping. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps attention on strengths, exceptions, and workable next steps, which can be especially helpful when a client wants clear goals and momentum.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Paula works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts the focus over time so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy also makes it easier to get support in a format that fits real life. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility and accessibility between scheduled conversations.
