Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Joshalyn commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify their values, and take committed action toward a more meaningful life; ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in close relationships, improve emotional connection, and address attachment issues that affect communication and trust. In addition, her client-centered orientation prioritizes the person’s perspective, creating a supportive environment where goals are shaped by the client’s needs and strengths.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Joshalyn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and the concerns they bring to therapy. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what is most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and reach licensed professionals and therapists from familiar settings.
