Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed steps toward meaningful goals - it can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and patterns of avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape current emotional patterns and interpersonal dynamics, offering a way to work through attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relational distress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and the client's own pace of change, supporting self-directed growth and increased insight into feelings and values.

Finding the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. Frances works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow clients to engage in care from different locations and on schedules that suit them. These options can make it easier to maintain regular work on goals, manage life demands, and access licensed professionals when in-person visits are difficult.
