Therapy Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Cindy Hannigan, LPC, draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be especially practical in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another, and it can help clients build skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and unhelpful patterns that show up in daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes coping tools such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when emotions feel intense or relationships feel difficult to navigate. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in making room for difficult internal experiences while taking steps toward values-based goals, which can be helpful during life transitions, identity exploration, and periods of feeling stuck.Finding the right fit is part of the process. Cindy collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that match what they want to work on, adjusting the approach as therapy unfolds.
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 build consistency, fit sessions into a busy week, and continue working on goals from the comfort of home or another convenient space.
