Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Dr. Sheila Gold draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be especially helpful in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, low mood, and everyday challenges, with an emphasis on practical skills you can use between sessions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most, so daily choices can move more in line with personal values. Mindfulness-based work can also support steadier attention and emotional regulation by practicing ways to notice experiences in the moment rather than feeling pulled around by them.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Gold collaborates with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then adjusts the pace and tools accordingly.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, continue support during transitions, and choose a format that feels comfortable and accessible.
