Online support
Attachment-informed and action-focused online therapy
Sarah uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds influence current patterns in relationships and emotional reactions; this helps when attachment issues, abandonment, or family dynamics are causing distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people clarify their values, accept difficult feelings, and take committed steps toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy provides a foundation of empathy and respect, giving space for people to feel heard and to lead the pace of change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean combining attachment-focused conversation with ACT exercises or practical cognitive-behavioral tools depending on what is most useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation and body language cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging supports shorter, ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
