Evidence-based approaches for online care

Dr. Emma Covernton draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and may incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when helpful. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain distress, and it is often applied to anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and eating-related difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with emotion regulation and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Covernton works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts plans as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for many people. These options allow scheduling to fit work and family life, make regular contact easier, and let clients choose the format that feels most comfortable while working with registered professionals and therapists.
