Therapeutic Approaches for Online Counseling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and build practical skills to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck in them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that interfere with pursuing meaningful goals.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonding experiences to help people understand how those patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. This approach can support work on abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and relationship difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete strategies to change them. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and many day-to-day coping challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sheila works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts care over time as those needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life circumstances. These formats allow therapists to provide consistent support and practical tools while accommodating clients' availability and comfort.
