Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to your life
Dr. Lieberman commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing and changing thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety or low mood, useful for sleep problems, worry, and mood symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions aligned with those values even when emotions are difficult, which can support coping with chronic illness, grief, or persistent stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she and the client choose strategies and adjust them as needed so therapy feels practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or treatment schedules while focusing on real-world skills and progress.
