Approaches for Online Relationship and Trauma Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action toward them while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and situations where clients want greater clarity about what matters most.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns that develop in close relationships and how early attachment experiences shape current connections. This approach is useful for couples, family conflicts, intimacy issues, and healing from relational trauma.

The right therapeutic approach often emerges collaboratively. Larsen works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and needs, and adapts methods over time so therapy fits each individual or couple.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, or mobility limitations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and integrate therapy into daily life while working with licensed professionals who focus on practical, effective support.
