Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care

Aen Brauer draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be especially practical in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building more supportive ways of thinking and responding, which many people find useful when working through stress, anxiety, and low mood.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. It can be a helpful fit for grief and loss, life transitions, and times when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills emphasize emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication, offering concrete tools that can support steadier coping day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Aen works collaboratively with clients to identify goals and preferences, then tailors sessions to what feels most relevant and doable, adjusting along the way as needs change.

Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to get support from home, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and stay engaged between appointments when helpful.
