Therapy Approaches That Translate Well Online

Tara Schoeller, LCSW, CSW, draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can work well in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then practicing more workable responses. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, stress, depression, and coping with life changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps aligned with personal values. It can be especially useful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in cycles of avoidance, and wants to build steadier coping strategies and direction.

Attachment-Based Therapy supports understanding how early relationship experiences can shape current connections, communication, and trust. This can be relevant for relationship concerns, family stress, parenting challenges, and patterns like codependency or fear of abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tara works collaboratively, adjusting the pace and tools based on the client’s goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility without losing continuity of care. Clients can meet with Tara through video calls or phone sessions, and also use live chat or text-based messaging to stay engaged between sessions and fit support into busy schedules.
