Therapeutic approaches suited to online care

Dr. Gaye Cameron draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression and persistent stress where avoidance patterns get in the way of goals.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising skills to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms and behavioural difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Dr. Cameron works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust the approach as required to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Dr. Cameron is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives or to access care from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support, manage scheduling needs and engage in therapy in the format that feels most comfortable.
