Online support
Attachment-informed care and practical online therapy
Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. This approach helps people spot patterns in close relationships and build new ways of relating when old habits cause pain or distance.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps clarify values and take small actions toward a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses short exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lorraine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adapts tools over time based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or when writing feels more natural.
