Online support

Attachment-informed and evidence-based approaches online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior; it helps people notice relational patterns and try new ways of connecting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match personal values, useful for anxiety and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering empathy and support while the client sets the pace and goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these methods with each person and together decide what fits best based on goals, needs, and personal preferences. Treatment is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and to use therapy tools between sessions.
