Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapeutic Work
Dr. Avery commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when working with online clients. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve coping, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. ACT emphasizes values-based action and psychological flexibility, teaching techniques for accepting difficult emotions while committing to meaningful life changes.She also uses Attachment-Based concepts to help clients explore relational patterns and how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses. These approaches aim to increase self-awareness, teach practical skills, and create a foundation for healthier patterns of relating and coping.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process shapes session focus and choices about techniques.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it possible to access care from different locations and on varied schedules. These formats support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and options for clients who need adaptable ways to engage in therapy.
