Integrating therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, commonly called CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress, and is often used to address trauma-related symptoms and mood concerns. Existential Therapy helps clients explore meaning, values, and the emotional impact of loss or major life changes. It supports people facing grief, questions about purpose, or the experience of suffering by encouraging reflection and personal responsibility. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, combines acceptance strategies with commitment to valued actions, helping people live with difficult emotions while moving toward meaningful goals; it can be useful for anxiety, chronic pain, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy, and Dr. April Bennett works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can involve trying techniques from different models and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across locations, and access licensed professionals and therapists without travel, while preserving a therapeutic, collaborative relationship.
