Online support

How Anthony’s Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust, and can help people understand why they react a certain way in relationships or when stressed. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and feelings, letting the therapist follow what matters most and offer empathetic support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then practices concrete alternatives to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, history, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. Sessions may change over time as progress is made or new challenges appear.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text can fit short check-ins, brief coaching, or times when typing feels easier during a busy day. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
