Evidence-Based Tools, Made Accessible Online

Emily Fitzgerald draws from practical, skills-focused approaches that can translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and experiment with new ways of responding, which can be useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, and self-esteem. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building everyday coping skills such as emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting clients who want steadier mood management and healthier relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning to make room for difficult thoughts or feelings while still taking meaningful action, which can be especially helpful during life changes and periods of low motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily collaborates with each client to understand what they are experiencing, what they want to change, and what kind of support feels most useful. Together, they can shape goals and choose strategies that fit the client’s preferences and pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility without putting life on hold. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added accessibility and continuity between sessions.
