Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and develop practical skills to act in line with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns of relating that originate in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections; it can be helpful for abandonment, attachment issues, intimacy concerns, and family or relationship difficulties.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills, making it a strong option for intense emotions, self-destructive behaviors, and relationship instability.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be collaborative. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and needs, then tailors techniques from these approaches to fit the individual's situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and connect from different locations. These formats allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care and adapt communication styles to what feels most comfortable and effective for each person.
