How ACT, CBT, and DBT Guide Remote Sessions

Mary-Catherine often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take values-based action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where getting unstuck is a priority.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often helpful for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - is another approach Mary-Catherine integrates when emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are central concerns. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary-Catherine works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques from these modalities to fit the individual’s circumstances and pace.

Online therapy with Mary-Catherine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Remote sessions make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, transitions, or when in-person visits are not practical, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on meaningful, goal-oriented work.
