Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Dr. Scott Anstadt draws on approaches that adapt well to remote care and practical coaching. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns and emotional bonds formed over time, which is helpful for relationship concerns, intimacy issues, and attachment-related difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps the person explore their own goals and resources, often supporting self-esteem, coping, and decision-making.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Anstadt works collaboratively with each person to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor strategies that fit their circumstances and lifestyle. He blends methods as needed rather than relying on a single technique.
Online therapy sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility in scheduling and format. These options make it easier to continue care during busy periods, manage transitions, and maintain regular contact in ways that suit a client’s routine and accessibility needs.
