Therapy Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Tanya Underwood draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors that may be fueling stress, anxiety, or relationship conflict, and then practicing practical skills to create change over time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients build psychological flexibility by making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps aligned with personal values, which can be especially helpful when life feels stuck or overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape connection, trust, and communication, offering a supportive way to work through relationship strain and the effects of past experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tanya collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that fit their needs, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to get support from home, keep appointments during busy weeks, and choose a format that feels most comfortable for discussing personal concerns.
