Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients focus on their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where people want to build a more value-driven life. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they impact current connections; it can be particularly helpful for attachment challenges, relationship struggles, abandonment concerns, and identity development. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, supporting work on depression, anxiety, coping skills, and symptom management.
Ariel approaches finding the right method as a collaborative process. She works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting the approach over time so that therapy fits the client’s needs and circumstances.
Online therapy with Ariel is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, geographic constraints, or different communication preferences. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats for skill practice, and engage in therapy in ways that feel most accessible to the client, while working with licensed professionals focused on practical progress.
