Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care

Elizabeth Lachendro draws on practical, skills-based approaches that can work especially well in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building healthier responses through structured strategies, which many people find useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts or feelings while taking steps toward values-driven goals, which can be supportive when coping with trauma-related stress, grief, or major life transitions. A client-centered foundation keeps the work grounded in empathic listening and respect for each person’s pace, priorities, and lived experience.

Because therapy is not one-size-fits-all, Elizabeth collaborates with clients to identify what feels most helpful. Together, they can clarify goals, explore preferences, and adjust the approach over time so sessions stay aligned with what the client wants to change and the supports that fit best.

Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent with therapy while balancing work, school, family responsibilities, travel, or changing schedules.
