Approaches That Translate to Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and learn practical skills for accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, and it supports healing around attachment issues, abandonment, and relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective strategies, making it a common choice for anxiety, depression, and coping skill development.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Danica works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors treatment plans and adjusts techniques over time so the work feels practical and relevant.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging - allow for flexible scheduling and easier access to care from different locations. These formats support ongoing work between meetings and make it simpler for clients with busy lives, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility constraints to engage in consistent therapy with licensed professionals.
