Online support
How his approaches work in online therapy
John often combines Attachment-based Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in plain, practical ways. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people notice and change how they relate to others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, choosing valued directions, and taking small action steps toward what matters.He treats the choice of approach as collaborative. During early sessions he listens to your concerns and goals, then suggests methods that fit your needs and preferences. He checks in regularly and adapts the work if something isn’t helping or if priorities change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can pick what works with their schedules and comforts. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching coping skills, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can work for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. This range makes it simpler to keep therapy going across busy days, travel, or different time zones.
