Evidence-informed approaches for online support

Keisha uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values despite difficult feelings. ACT focuses on commitment to meaningful action rather than getting rid of all uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses to reduce symptoms such as panic, social anxiety, or low mood. CBT offers concrete tools and short-term exercises you can practice between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy guides how sessions are held, with active listening and respect for each person's experience to create a collaborative space.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Keisha will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how each method might fit. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan over time so it meets changing needs.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier for busy days. Video offers face-to-face interaction, phone needs less bandwidth, live chat can be good for short check-ins, and messaging lets clients write between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent with daily life.
