Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Larry Blair draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as core frameworks in his online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, and it is often used to build concrete skills for day-to-day coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes clarifying values and developing psychological flexibility, helping people move toward meaningful action even when uncomfortable feelings are present.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to determine which methods best align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and may combine CBT, ACT, or mindfulness practices as needed to address specific concerns such as trauma responses, relationship strain, or workplace difficulties.
Online therapy sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities, and they support ongoing skill-building between sessions through timely communication and accessible session options.
