Online support

Attachment-informed care and online therapy options

Dr. Arnett often integrates attachment-based ideas, client-centered therapy, and mindfulness in online work. Attachment-based thinking focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice how they relate to others and to themselves. Client-centered therapy centers the person's goals and priorities, giving them control over what to address in each session. Mindfulness offers simple practices to notice thoughts and feelings, reduce reactivity, and build emotional awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively to identify which tools fit a person's goals and preferences, checking in and adjusting the plan over time. Clients help steer sessions while the therapist offers options and guidance based on what emerges in conversation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when lower bandwidth or being off camera is preferred. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support easier to fit into a busy life. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible across different schedules and needs.
