Approaches that guide online therapy and remote care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values. It is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on meaningful goals rather than getting stuck in struggle.Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current intimacy, trust, and communication. This approach can be useful for clients working on relationship conflicts, abandonment concerns, and attachment difficulties by strengthening emotional connection and regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dennis works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.
