Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Fred Sacklow integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into his online work. ACT helps clients clarify values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful actions - it can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early and current relational patterns to improve intimacy and connection, making it helpful for relationship struggles, attachment challenges, and issues with trust. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and build practical coping skills for stress, depression, and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Fred works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and tailors techniques from these models so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic distance. These options allow clients to engage in consistent care, practice skills between sessions, and connect with licensed professionals in a format that fits their daily life.
