Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Ursula uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns in relationships and early bonds, helping people understand how attachment styles influence communication, intimacy, and family dynamics. This approach can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, attachment issues, and recovery from relational trauma.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Ursula works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Ursula is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or those who prefer remote care. These options allow consistent access to a licensed professional while making it easier to integrate therapeutic work into daily life and to maintain continuity during periods of change.
