Online Therapy with Practical, Evidence-Informed Approaches
James Sanniola, LCSW, integrates established therapy methods to help clients work through challenges like stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, sleep concerns, motivation, and self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then practicing new ways of responding that better support day-to-day functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while reconnecting with personal values, so clients can take steps toward what matters even when life feels heavy. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental style that helps strengthen motivation and follow-through, especially when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. James works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or has not been helpful before, then adjusts the pace and tools accordingly.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect. Sessions may take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into a busy schedule or continue care from wherever you are.
