Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life. It combines mindfulness and action-oriented techniques to address persistent worry, avoidance, and low motivation by teaching ways to live in line with what matters most.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust. This approach can be useful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics by helping clients notice patterns and build more secure connections.
Julie-Ann works collaboratively with clients to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She views the selection of therapeutic methods as part of the shared process and adapts tools over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living further afield. These options allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care, make regular check-ins more feasible, and tailor communication styles to each person’s comfort and practical needs.
