Therapeutic approaches and the benefits of online care
George uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take purposeful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT is practical for managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching skills to live in line with what matters most.Attachment-Based Therapy is another core approach he uses to explore how early relationships influence current patterns in intimacy and communication. This work can be helpful for couples, individuals working through relationship injuries, and those seeking greater emotional connection.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. George works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most effective, adjusting methods over time as needs evolve. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine approaches to match the client rather than fitting the client to a single model.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and receive support from home or other convenient locations.
