Online support

Attachment, Acceptance, and Skills-Based Care Online

Willie uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape emotions and behavior; this approach helps people notice patterns in close relationships and build more supported ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and to identify values that guide small, meaningful actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Willie will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try approaches that fit those needs. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what proves helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video sessions let people use face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone work can be a lighter option when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflections between sessions.
