Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Catherine Garbutt
Catherine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as part of her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and allow difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking steps toward a more meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation issues. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships and how those patterns affect current emotional responses and relationship dynamics - it can help with trust, intimacy, abandonment concerns, and family challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also used to identify and change thinking and behaviour patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, and other common concerns.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Catherine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from different approaches to best support a client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to access consistent support, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care, helping people engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily lives.
