Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-informed work looks at how early bonds shape current feelings and reactions, helping people notice patterns in relationships and build different ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small, values-driven steps even when emotions are hard. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and meeting each person where they are so sessions feel respectful and collaborative.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ann will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress unfolds, so therapy stays practical and client-led.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of coping skills. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a client wants a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, between-session coaching, or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and help maintain continuity when schedules shift.
