Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online sessions

Tara Schoeller draws from several evidence-informed methods that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new skills for concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, and life transitions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult thoughts and emotions while clarifying personal values and taking purposeful steps forward. This approach can be especially helpful when clients feel stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled off course by worry, self-criticism, or changing circumstances.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship experiences shape connection, communication, and trust. It can be a useful lens for relationship stress, family dynamics, parenting challenges, and patterns such as codependency or fear of abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tara collaborates with clients to choose strategies that fit their goals, preferences, and current needs, adjusting the pace and focus as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent with care. Sessions may take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or times when getting to an office feels like one more obstacle.
