Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful behavior changes, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions and expectations. It is often helpful for people facing relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, intimacy-related issues, and recovery from relational trauma.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed growth. This approach can benefit those working on self-esteem, motivation, and coping with grief or major life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Nelly collaborates with clients to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts care as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, remote locations, or varying schedules. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support while accommodating different communication styles and logistical needs.
