Adapting Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, clarify what matters most, and take small, values-driven steps forward - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in close relationships and how those early experiences affect current connections, making it useful for relationship issues, attachment concerns and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them, which can support challenges such as anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Justine works collaboratively with clients to explore what feels most helpful, tailoring methods to match each person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than applying a single model. This collaborative exploration helps identify the best fit over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow for face-to-face conversation from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide accessible ways to connect between appointments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into busy schedules and access support when life circumstances change.
