Online support
Using Attachment and Action-Focused Approaches Online
Elisa often combines attachment-based ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people understand how relationships shape their feelings and choices. Attachment-based work looks at patterns from early relationships and how those patterns show up now, which can help with intimacy concerns, abandonment worries, and attachment issues. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values, useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.She may also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that reduce symptoms. CBT is practical and action-oriented, which can help with stress, ADHD-related routines, and anger management. Together these approaches give both understanding and concrete skills.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Elisa works with each person to set goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. That means clients shape the process and can shift between strategies as needs change.
Online sessions offer flexibility for varied schedules and locations. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face-to-face, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
