Approaches and accessibility in online therapy

Dr. Celosse commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress. ACT emphasizes values-based action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful behavior change.

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to explore how relationship patterns shape emotional experience and coping, which can be useful for understanding trust, boundaries, and interpersonal challenges. In collaboration with each client she will discuss these approaches and tailor the mix to fit the client’s goals, preferences, and comfort level so treatment feels purposeful and centered on what matters most to the individual.

Online therapy with Dr. Celosse is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across distances and to fit therapeutic work into busy lives, while allowing the therapist and client to adapt the cadence and modality as progress unfolds.
