Using therapy approaches in online sessions

Dr. Harper commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people name what matters most and begin small steps toward those values, which can ease feeling stuck during big life shifts. CBT focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that increase stress or depression, and then testing new ways of thinking and acting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This process is collaborative and paced to the person's needs and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use video or phone in ways that match their comfort and bandwidth. The emphasis is on practical access and making therapy work around everyday demands rather than requiring large schedule changes.
