Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Dr. Amanda Baker draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted to online therapy while staying focused on each client’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and practice new skills for managing concerns such as anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in building psychological flexibility by making room for difficult thoughts and emotions while taking steps toward what matters most, which can be especially helpful during life transitions or after painful experiences. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional needs, communication, and closeness, which can be valuable when working through relationship strain, infidelity, or intimacy-related concerns.

Because no single method fits everyone, the process is collaborative. Dr. Baker works with clients to clarify what they want from therapy, then adjusts strategies to match their needs, goals, and preferences as sessions progress.

Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging to stay engaged between sessions. This range of options can make it easier to get support consistently, even with a busy schedule or changing routines.
