Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support for Relationships and Loss
Ruth Gordon integrates approaches that suit relationship and emotional work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning skills to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings - it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and connection; it is often useful for addressing intimacy issues, family conflict, and healing relational wounds. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and working with core emotions to improve communication and strengthen bonds in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ruth Gordon works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods align with each person’s goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing sessions to fit into busy lives and to continue work across distances. These options make it easier for clients to maintain continuity of care, access support during major life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
