Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dean Williams commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered techniques to support change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and practice small actions that align with what matters most; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and improving coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and shift how they connect with others, which can benefit relationship and intimacy concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist follows the client's lead to build insight, self-acceptance, and problem-solving capacity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dean collaborates with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as work progresses so the client feels involved in shaping treatment.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to connect around work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow consistent access to licensed professionals who can guide skill-building, relationship work, and career-focused counseling.
