Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Matthew Christensen, LCSW, draws from practical, research-informed methods that can translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors that can keep anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship conflict going, then building skills to respond in more helpful ways. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while reconnecting with personal values, which can be especially useful when life feels stuck, overwhelming, or out of alignment. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, helping clients handle intense emotions and navigate challenging interactions more steadily.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Matthew collaborates with clients to understand what they are facing, what they want to change, and what style of support feels most useful, then adjusts the plan over time to match their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, keep continuity when routines change, and access support in a format that feels comfortable and sustainable.
