Therapy approaches that translate well to online sessions

Lyda Will-Hoover draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can work effectively in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to respond differently, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes coping strategies such as emotion regulation and distress tolerance, supporting clients who want steadier ways to manage intense feelings and day-to-day pressure. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take meaningful steps forward, even when difficult thoughts or emotions show up along the way.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lyda Will-Hoover works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the style and tools to fit the person rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to keep appointments, build momentum between sessions, and get support in a format that fits real life.
