Therapeutic Approaches for Online Relationship and Trauma Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and take value-driven action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck in them. This approach can be useful for challenges like addiction, persistent worry, and motivation to change.Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and offers ways to revise those patterns to build greater trust and closeness. It is especially relevant for intimacy concerns, abandonment issues, and relationship difficulties.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps identify and transform negative interaction cycles by addressing the emotions beneath them, aiming to strengthen emotional connection in couples and families. It can aid in resolving recurring conflicts and deepening attachment.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Linda works collaboratively with people to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals can effectively use these approaches in online formats to support meaningful change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to connect across distances.
