Therapeutic approaches for remote support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and develop practical ways to act on those values while learning to accept difficult emotions. It is often used for stress, anxiety, low mood, and challenges around motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships, focusing on how early and current attachment experiences shape emotions and interactions - it can be helpful for relationship difficulties, family concerns, and attachment-related distress. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and unconditional regard so clients can explore their own solutions and build self-trust, which supports issues like low self-esteem and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Liz Elshaw works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. The selection of techniques is flexible and tailored over time to fit what proves most helpful.
Online therapy with Liz includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for scheduling and access. These options allow people to engage in therapy from home, fit sessions around work or caregiving, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, while working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in these approaches.
