Online support

Attachment-informed approaches and online care

Valerie uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people identify patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. This approach can be useful for people dealing with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, or persistent relationship patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values and take committed action even when hard feelings are present. ACT often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

She believes finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and how someone responds to different methods. Together they tailor a plan that blends attachment work, ACT, and practical skill building so therapy fits the person’s life and aims.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and work more closely on relationship patterns. Phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option or a shorter check-in during a busy day. Live chat and messaging support ongoing reflection and brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while maintaining a consistent course of care.
