Our therapists may integrate IFS into online therapy to help clients understand longstanding patterns, work with difficult emotions and move toward greater healing and self-understanding.
CBT & ACT Online Therapy
Our therapists also draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other evidence-based approaches. These therapies can help clients better understand patterns in thoughts, emotions and behaviors, develop practical skills and move toward meaningful change. Your therapist will integrate approaches based on your individual needs and goals.
Some of Our Most Experienced Therapists Are Online

As a teaching practice, many of our online therapists are the clinicians who lead, supervise, consult with and mentor other therapists on our team. They include clinical managers, leads, supervisors and consultants, and are some of the most experienced clinicians in our practice.
We believe online therapy should offer more than convenience. It should give you access to exceptional clinical care. Our virtual therapists bring years of experience, advanced training and specialized expertise to their work, along with the warmth, collaboration and commitment to continued learning that are at the heart of Good Therapy San Diego.
