Remote counseling options
Dr. Ferguson provides remote sessions that let clients work by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats are used to share tools, explore values and goals, and maintain an ongoing collaborative plan without the need to meet in person.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is one approach she draws on. In plain terms, ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and to practice small, value-driven steps while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another core method and centers on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then practicing practical skills to shift those patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques may be introduced when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities. Ferguson blends these approaches in a client-centered way and works with each person to select strategies that fit their goals and daily life. Technology options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
