Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Emily Keehn integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking steps toward a more meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, interpersonal conflict, and patterns of impulsivity.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is done collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt sessions over time so care stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue care across different circumstances. For many people, these options increase accessibility and make consistent therapeutic work more manageable.
