Therapeutic approaches and remote care
Jo integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside other approaches to support clients in online settings. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and emotions - it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to understand current relational difficulties and emotional responses; it can be especially useful for issues around intimacy, abandonment, trust, and family dynamics.
Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Jo works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often adapt techniques over time, and Jo tailors work to each client rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments. Remote options increase accessibility for people in different locations and allow continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible, while still enabling meaningful, goal-focused therapeutic work.
