Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Robert draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide work online. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relational patterns affect emotional responses and close relationships - it can support those dealing with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, or trauma-related wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also commonly used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Robert works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align best with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting strategies as progress is made.
Online therapy with Robert is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access support from home or work. These options increase flexibility and help maintain continuity of care when in-person appointments are not possible, while enabling therapists and licensed professionals to tailor sessions to each client’s needs.
