Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Many sessions make use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. CBT tends to include practical skill-building and homework between sessions to support day-to-day changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses that emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. ACT can be helpful for people coping with chronic stress, grief, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Diane works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration may involve blending CBT, ACT, and client-centered techniques to create a tailored plan and adjusting strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across busy lives and for those managing mobility or health challenges, while allowing therapists and clients to try different ways of working together.
