Approaches for Online Care and Therapeutic Focus



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and patterns that interfere with daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current connections and helps repair relational patterns that contribute to abandonment, attachment issues, and family conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with addiction challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Adrienne will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines client input with clinical experience to tailor a plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy with Adrienne offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care across changes in routine. Licensed professionals can adapt these modalities to support effective, accessible treatment that meets clients where they are.
