Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that align with personal values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and motivation-related challenges.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses. It can be helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, and issues stemming from abandonment or insecure bonds.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, supporting work on anxiety, low mood, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions so clients feel understood and actively involved in planning change.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limitations, or who live far from local services. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with a licensed professional and to continue therapy in ways that fit day-to-day life.
