Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take practical steps toward those values. It combines mindfulness and behavioral strategies to address issues such as anxiety, depression, and difficulty coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and interpersonal trust; it can be especially helpful for people working through relationship concerns, abandonment issues, or attachment-related challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it a common choice for stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and many daily coping concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Frederick collaborates with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and he tailors methods so therapy feels relevant and action-oriented. That collaborative stance helps determine whether a particular approach or combination of approaches will be most useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life transitions, and access care from different locations, while still working with licensed professionals who adapt their methods to virtual formats.
