Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Alice Howard
Alice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, clarify what matters most, and take steps toward a values-driven life - an approach that can support those coping with addiction, anxiety, or chronic stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating, helping clients understand and shift patterns that affect intimacy, trust, and emotional safety.Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Alice works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the style of therapy as the work evolves so clients feel involved in shaping their care.

These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access therapy from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each stage of the therapeutic process.
