Therapeutic approaches for online care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then identify values-based actions to move forward. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where people want more meaningful engagement rather than just symptom reduction.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships that shape how people connect, trust, and cope. This approach can be helpful for relationship challenges, intimacy concerns, family dynamics, and issues rooted in early attachment experiences.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and priorities, creating a collaborative environment where goals emerge from what matters most to the client. It supports self-exploration and can be paired with other techniques to address depression, grief, and self-esteem difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Wheeler works together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access consistent care around work, family, or other commitments. These options allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care and choose the format that feels most comfortable and effective for the work ahead.
