Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Loire Bennett draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be especially practical in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and shifting behaviors in ways that support mood, stress management, and daily functioning. It is often used when people want structured tools for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients build psychological flexibility by learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. ACT can be useful for persistent worry, stress, grief, and situations where someone feels stuck in avoidance or self-criticism. Client-Centered Therapy provides a supportive foundation through empathy and active listening, helping clients feel understood while they explore concerns at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Loire works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what is most helpful right now, adjusting strategies over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy adds flexibility and access. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, or choose live chat and text-based messaging when scheduling or comfort makes real-time meetings difficult. These options can make it easier to stay engaged and consistent, even during busy or stressful seasons.
