How Elisa’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps towards them. It can help with anxiety, depression and difficulties that come with major life changes by encouraging practical action alongside acceptance of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and mood disorders. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a method used to help people process past upsetting memories and reduce their emotional hold; it is typically used when trauma or distressing memories are part of the problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elisa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process means techniques can be mixed and adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people juggling busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth or movement is limited, or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing to talk, need flexible scheduling, or want ongoing brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family or travel commitments while using approaches like ACT, CBT and EMDR in real time.
