Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports taking values-driven action to live a more meaningful life. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships formed early in life and works to build understanding and healthier connection styles, which is helpful for relationship challenges, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and respects each person's pace and perspective, creating a supportive space for exploring self-esteem, grief, and identity issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ileara collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from these approaches to suit each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Ileara offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity of care across locations within Washington, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful progress.
