Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Dr. Sherry Aaker draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be especially helpful for navigating stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can support mood, self-esteem, and day-to-day coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward values-based goals, helping clients build flexibility and momentum during challenging seasons. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships and current connections shape emotional needs, boundaries, and intimacy, which can be useful when working through relationship strain, loneliness, or changes in family roles.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Dr. Aaker collaborates with clients to clarify goals, identify what feels most supportive, and adjust the approach over time based on preferences and what is working in real life.

Online therapy adds flexibility without losing structure. Sessions with Dr. Aaker may take place through video calls or phone sessions, with options for live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing support between appointments. This range of formats can make it easier to stay consistent, especially during busy work weeks, caregiving demands, or periods of transition.
