Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a more meaningful life while learning to live with difficult thoughts and emotions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and issues related to motivation and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections; it supports healing in areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, and relational difficulties by strengthening emotional bonds and repair. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for intense emotional experiences, relationship conflicts, and coping with stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Valentino-Bottaro works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress unfolds. This partnership helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and useful to each person.
