Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values. It supports work on life changes, anxiety about money, and rebuilding direction after loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce stress and improve mood. It can be useful for work stress, self-esteem, and practical money-related habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gina will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a practical CBT exercise one week and a values-based ACT step the next, adjusting based on what helps.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, support shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time for people balancing caregiving or work. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help clients practice skills, work through communication problems, and set manageable goals from day to day.
