Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and situations where people feel stuck or uncertain about next steps.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early attachment patterns to understand how those dynamics show up in adult life. It can be useful for healing from abandonment, improving intimacy, and addressing family or relationship struggles.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist mirrors and supports the client's own goals. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, increasing self-awareness, and guiding personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lauren Christensen works with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, making adjustments as progress unfolds to ensure a good fit between therapy style and the client's priorities.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to receive care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access support from home, and continue work with licensed professionals even when schedules or circumstances change. Therapists can use the same therapeutic tools and collaboration remotely to help clients move toward their goals.
