Therapeutic approaches and online care

Elizabeth draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor work to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning skills to stay engaged in life even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, teaching practical strategies to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity when trauma or abuse is a central concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work. Elizabeth will help assess a client’s goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommend methods that fit, adjusting the plan over time as needed. Clients are invited to participate actively in selecting what feels most useful for them.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who cannot attend in person. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapy into daily life with fewer logistical barriers.
