Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work
Dr. Legner uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify personal values and take action toward them even when feelings are hard. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and building small, values-aligned steps that fit daily life.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try alternative behaviors to reduce distress. CBT often involves practical exercises and homework that clients can use between sessions to track progress.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and what feels most useful. This collaborative process lets the plan change as progress happens.
If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also make practicing skills between sessions simpler, since homework and worksheets can be shared and reviewed during live meetings.
