How ACT, CBT, and Existential Therapy Work Online
Maria Baxendale Hume uses evidence-based approaches that translate well to remote sessions, helping clients explore thoughts, feelings, and values in practical ways. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them, and to take meaningful action aligned with their values; it can be effective for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviours and emotional responses; it is commonly used for stress, anxiety, low mood, and confidence issues. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, identity, and choice, offering space to address life changes, relationship concerns, and deeper questions about purpose.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Maria works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions and techniques so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access registered professionals from different locations, and fit therapy into everyday life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
