Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Delores Smith draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical strategies to respond differently, which can be especially useful when stress, anxiety, low mood, or work pressures start to affect daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients relate to difficult thoughts and emotions in a new way while taking steps toward values-based goals, which can support people navigating grief, life changes, and ongoing stress. Mindfulness Therapy adds skills for grounding and present-moment awareness, often helping clients respond to intense feelings with greater steadiness rather than reacting on autopilot.Because people and situations differ, finding the right approach is part of the work. Delores Smith collaborates with each client to clarify goals, understand preferences, and decide which methods feel most supportive, adjusting over time as needs change.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone, and support can extend to live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay engaged in therapy alongside a busy schedule, caregiving responsibilities, or shifting energy levels.
