Bringing Evidence-Based Tools to Online Sessions
Dr. Sherry Aaker integrates practical, research-informed approaches that translate well to online therapy for concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma-related stress, grief, and major life transitions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while making room for values-based choices. It can be especially useful when stress, shame, or uncertainty makes it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and supports clients in identifying patterns that keep them feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or on edge. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape coping and self-worth, which can be helpful for intimacy concerns, abandonment themes, and family of origin stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Aaker works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that feel realistic and supportive for day-to-day life.
Online therapy also makes it easier to get consistent support. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and can use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility between sessions, making care more accessible during busy schedules, travel, or changing routines.
