Therapeutic approaches for online support and growth
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed steps toward what matters to them. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, depression, and navigating life changes by focusing on values and practical action.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy, trust and emotion regulation. This approach can support work on relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, attachment issues, and building healthier connections with others.
Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, using empathic listening and collaboration to create a supportive environment for self-exploration. It is well suited to improving self-esteem, coping with grief and trauma, and developing a clearer sense of personal goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; therapists and licensed professionals work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration guides how sessions are tailored and how progress is measured.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and other commitments. These options increase accessibility for people in different locations and provide multiple ways to engage with therapy that can suit varying comfort levels and practical needs.
