How his approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Ringhoff uses several practical approaches that can work well in remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stuck habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and teaches small experiments and skills to change unhelpful behaviors and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people change repeated interaction styles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and daily life. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting course together rather than following a fixed plan.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused skill practice between meetings. It can also make shorter check-ins or weekly skill-building easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or other routine demands.
