Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
John McBride draws on several established approaches to support clients in an online format. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them while clarifying personal values and committed action - it is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and connection patterns - this approach can help with relationship struggles, intimacy-related issues, and family conflicts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to shift them - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. John works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach over time as progress unfolds. The selection of techniques is guided by the client’s experiences and what feels most effective for them.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility in how care is delivered - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to maintain continuity during life changes, and to access support from different locations while working with a therapist who uses evidence-informed methods.
