Therapy Approaches That Translate Well to Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them run the show, while clarifying personal values and taking practical steps aligned with what matters most. It can be helpful when anxiety, stress, or life transitions create a sense of feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and then practicing new ways of responding. It is often used to build coping skills for concerns like anxiety, low mood, self-esteem challenges, and everyday stressors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and more effective communication, which can support clients who want tools for managing intense feelings and navigating relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Stephanie Ferguson takes an eclectic, client-centered style and works collaboratively to understand what you are facing, what you want to change, and what methods feel like the best fit for your goals and preferences.
Online therapy can make it easier to get consistent support while balancing work, school, parenting, or a busy schedule. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving you options for how you connect and how you build momentum between sessions.
