Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Elizabeth Carter
Elizabeth brings several complementary approaches to online therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection formed in relationships and how these influence current emotional responses and relationship difficulties - it can help with intimacy, abandonment issues, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the client’s own growth and self-direction - this approach can be helpful across depression, self-esteem, and coping concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth collaborates with each client to identify which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Elizabeth is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for clients to access consistent care from wherever they are and to choose the communication style that supports their therapeutic process.
