Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life. It can help people who struggle with persistent worry, avoidance, or patterns that interfere with daily goals.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is often used with individuals who experience intense emotions, self-harm behaviors, or chronic relationship difficulties and helps build practical coping strategies.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to problems such as anxiety and depression. Through structured techniques, clients learn skills to shift responses and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Teddi Plummer works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to access care around work, family, or mobility constraints, support continuity when schedules change, and allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, focused treatment across distances, including for international clients.
