Approach and Connection in Online Therapy

Ricky Lomax draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted to online sessions while staying focused on what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another, then practice new skills to respond differently to stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in making room for difficult internal experiences while taking steps toward values-based living. This approach can be useful during life transitions, when managing worry, or when feeling stuck in patterns that no longer fit. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers a structured, compassionate way to process the impact of trauma and abuse and to build steadier coping strategies over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ricky works collaboratively, adjusting the pace and tools to fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and revisiting what is working as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy also makes support more accessible. Clients can meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can help therapy fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and create more options for consistent follow-through.
