Approaches that guide online support and care
Elaine commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to shape her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence present-day connections and emotional responses; it can help people understand recurring dynamics in their intimate and family relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities to promote insight and personal growth. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and develop practical skills to live in ways that matter to them, often supporting work with anxiety, depression and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elaine collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and effective.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, geographic constraints or caregiving responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend appointments from different locations and access therapy from outside the therapist's immediate area, while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can support emotional and practical change.
