Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action aligned with their values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes by building psychological flexibility and purposeful behavior.Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns with others and helps rebuild trust, intimacy, and secure connection. This approach can be useful for relationship concerns, attachment issues, and healing from abandonment or relational trauma.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore their experiences and find their own solutions. It supports self-understanding, empowerment, and personal growth.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt strategies over time based on what is most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and connect with licensed professionals from different locations, including international arrangements when available.
