Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapeutic Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and learn practical skills for accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and adjustment to life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and emotional responses. It can be helpful for people working on intimacy, relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and patterns of connection or avoidance.
Tammie also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client s own problem-solving and growth. This approach can be beneficial across many issues including grief, self-esteem, and caregiving stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tammie works together with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care even when schedules or circumstances change. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver thoughtful, goal-oriented work that adapts to each client s situation.
