Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Rita Turner draws from evidence-informed approaches that can fit a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem, depression, and adjusting to life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and everyday habits, then practicing new ways of responding that better support a client’s goals. It is often used to build practical coping skills and improve day-to-day functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while staying connected to personal values, so choices can be guided by what matters most rather than by distress alone. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships can shape current expectations in closeness and communication, supporting healthier connection over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rita collaborates with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts the work accordingly.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a way that fits a client’s schedule and comfort level.
