Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Dr. Tanya Harrell draws from approaches that help clients make sense of difficult experiences and build practical skills for day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and then practicing more helpful ways to respond to stressors such as anxiety, low mood, and life changes.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in clarifying values and learning to relate differently to painful thoughts and emotions, so they can move toward what matters even when things feel hard. Attachment-Based Therapy can be especially useful when concerns involve relationships, trust, or longstanding patterns that show up in family or intimate connections.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Harrell works collaboratively with each client to understand goals, preferences, and current challenges, and then adjusts the focus and tools to fit the person rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method.
Online therapy also makes it easier to access support in a way that fits real life. Sessions may take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options for different schedules, comfort levels, and communication styles.
