Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and building practical skills to change them - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and some aspects of ADHD management. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, using empathy and nonjudgmental support to foster self-understanding and personal growth - it can be particularly helpful for self-esteem, relationship concerns, and recovery from emotional harm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Oran works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as work progresses to ensure a good fit. This collaborative stance helps shape a plan that aligns with each person’s needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone, plus live chat and text-based messaging, make it easier to fit support into busy schedules and to connect across geographic distances. These options also allow people to choose formats that match their communication style, making therapy more accessible and easier to maintain over time.
