Approaches and Access for Online Therapeutic Support
Barbara Craig draws on approaches that help people engage with difficult thoughts and build more meaningful lives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to notice thoughts and feelings without getting caught by them, and to clarify personal values so actions align with what matters most; it can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in close relationships, helping clients understand how early bonds shape current connections and how to develop more secure and satisfying relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship that empowers clients to discover their own solutions and build self-worth.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Barbara works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the balance of techniques as work progresses so clients feel supported and understood.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to provide focused, meaningful therapeutic work that respects clients' time and circumstances.
