Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Helen Raiani often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support her work. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress related to life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in close relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and emotional safety - this approach is helpful for relationship concerns, abandonment issues, and attachment wounds. CBT is a structured approach that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Helen works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so the plan fits each person’s situation.

Online therapy with Helen is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and increased access. These options make it easier to schedule around work, family, or mobility constraints, and help sustain continuity of care across life transitions. The range of modalities allows therapists and clients to choose the format that best supports the work and the client’s daily life.
