Therapy Approaches That Translate Well Online
Darice Dodd draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new skills for responding to stressors, anxiety, depressed mood, and everyday challenges.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while building a life guided by personal values. It can be especially helpful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled off course by stress, cravings, or intense emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationship experiences shape trust, closeness, and communication, which can be relevant for family, couples, and individual concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Darice collaborates with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then tailors sessions to support steady progress at a pace that feels manageable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and get support in the format that feels most comfortable.
