04Online support
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people build safer, more connected ways of relating. It can help with abandonment, attachment concerns, and relationship struggles. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to set meaningful goals and feel heard.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what methods feel most comfortable. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills, relationship work, or reflective listening and can adjust as work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video works well for deeper conversation and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief moments of support between meetings and can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to get consistent care and to practice new skills in real time.
