Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed steps toward valued goals. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns - it supports clients in understanding and reshaping relational responses, which can improve intimacy, communication and reactions to abandonment or attachment difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and offers structured techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and build coping skills; it is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Marcia collaborates with each client to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so therapy remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy with a licensed professional provides flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy lives or across time zones. These options allow clients to access consistent care and maintain momentum between sessions while working with therapists who adapt interventions for remote delivery.
