Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

John Lee integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy into his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports choosing actions that align with personal values - useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they influence current relationships and emotional responses, which can help with relationship issues, attachment concerns, and trauma. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental environment where the person leads the pace of work and the therapist offers understanding and support - this approach often helps people build self-esteem and find clarity.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. John works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, test different strategies, and refine the approach based on the client’s needs, preferences, and progress. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to what feels most useful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to connect across distances. These options can increase accessibility and continuity of care while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical work that supports daily life.
