Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Counseling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and struggles with motivation or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often applied for anxiety, depression, coping skills, and managing addictive behaviors through structured exercises and practical strategies.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens and reflects to help clients explore their own solutions. This approach can benefit those seeking improved self-esteem, clearer communication, and stronger relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Bathsheba works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which combination of methods best fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility and easier access to regular care. These formats allow clients to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of support during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
