Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions by increasing psychological flexibility.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that maintain distress. It is practical and skills-oriented, commonly used for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and improving coping strategies.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help manage intense emotions and relationship challenges. It can be especially useful for clients who need structured tools for coping and conflict resolution.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tracy Herriott collaborates with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will tailor interventions from these approaches to fit each person’s situation. This collaborative process helps determine the best path forward.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or caregiving responsibilities and allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, ongoing support without requiring travel.
