How her approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Armour commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life transitions. ACT emphasizes values-based action and mindfulness strategies to increase psychological flexibility and can help with stress, chronic illness, and motivation challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works together with each client to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan over time so the methods fit the person's needs, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or physical limitations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access regular skill practice, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life while still receiving guidance from a licensed professional.
