Practical Approaches, Flexible Online Support

Rita Turner, LMSW, draws from several evidence-informed therapy approaches that can translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and it can be especially helpful when stress, anxiety, or low mood are getting in the way of daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes building psychological flexibility - learning to make room for difficult thoughts and emotions while taking steps aligned with personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and ongoing relationship patterns can influence current connections, communication, and self-esteem, which can be useful when relationship concerns are central.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rita collaborates with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped in the past, and what feels like a good fit. Together, they can adjust the pace and focus to support meaningful, realistic goals.

Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to get consistent support, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and choose a format that feels most comfortable from week to week.
