Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then identify values-guided actions to move forward - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust, which is helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, teaching practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and build coping skills.

Diane approaches treatment collaboratively and will work with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she partners with clients to adjust strategies over time based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into busy lives and to access support from home or elsewhere. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling and allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that match their comfort and practical needs.
