Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and it emphasizes identifying personal values to guide meaningful action. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and responses to life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating formed in early relationships and in close adult bonds; it helps people understand how attachment needs affect current relationships and can support healing from abandonment or trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sheila works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines elements from different modalities as appropriate, helping clients learn new skills while honoring their individual pace and priorities.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, while still receiving focused therapeutic support.
