Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them, while building action steps that align with personal values. It can be especially useful when stress, anxiety, or life transitions make it hard to move forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In sessions, Samayra Tavakoli may help clients identify unhelpful patterns and practice more balanced ways of thinking and responding, which can support concerns like anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem challenges.
Attachment-Based Therapy brings attention to how early and ongoing relationships shape current needs, boundaries, and connection. This approach can be helpful for relationship concerns, trust issues, and the impact of trauma and abuse.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samayra collaborates with clients to understand what they want from therapy and to choose strategies that fit their goals, preferences, and readiness for change.
Online therapy can make that process easier to access and maintain. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, travel, and day-to-day responsibilities.
