Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take meaningful action while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more secure connections, which is useful for relationship and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgemental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and acceptance to support self exploration and personal growth.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Carol works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches may be blended and adjusted over time as progress unfolds.
