Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Support

Prof. Mary Streit draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action despite difficult thoughts or feelings - it is useful for people facing life transitions or struggling with motivation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that helps people explore their experiences and build self-understanding, which can be especially helpful for self-esteem and relationship issues. CBT offers structured strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, providing concrete tools for managing stress, mood, and problem-solving.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Prof. Streit works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods align best with an individual’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and lets clients access support from their own environments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, travel, or life transitions while still working with therapists who use evidence-informed approaches.
