Approach-Focused Online Care and What to Expect
Makini Leno draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that align with their values - useful for coping with life transitions and persistent stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns and early bonds to improve intimacy and communication, making it a fit for couples, parents, and those working through family-of-origin concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for problems like low mood, anxiety, and difficulties with concentration and focus.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Makini works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds. She aims to tailor interventions so they feel useful and realistic for each person.
Online therapy with Makini is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing for flexible scheduling and access from home or elsewhere. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and daily life while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who can support long-term change.
