Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values. It blends acceptance strategies with practical behavioral steps and can be helpful for managing distressing thoughts, low motivation, or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It offers practical tools for addressing anxiety, low mood, self-esteem concerns, and habits that interfere with daily functioning.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that supports processing distressing memories and the emotions tied to them. It is often used when past events continue to cause intense reactions and interfere with day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christine McKenna works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as those needs evolve.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work. These options allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for their circumstances while maintaining ongoing engagement with therapy.
