Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that develop in close relationships. It explores how early and current attachment experiences shape expectations, communication, and intimacy, making it a good fit for relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and strengths, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to build insight and self-trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elise will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage in care in ways that fit their schedules and daily responsibilities. These options can make it easier to attend sessions consistently, maintain momentum between meetings, and access support from licensed professionals without geographic constraints.
