Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most and take committed steps toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts without being dominated by them. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape patterns of connection and closeness. It can help clients address intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and difficulties in relationships by strengthening emotional awareness and relational safety.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so the client leads the pace and goals of therapy. It supports self-esteem, confidence, and coping with life changes by creating a space where clients feel heard and understood.
