Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. It can be useful for managing anxiety, depression and life transitions by focusing on values and practical steps rather than fighting internal experiences.Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in connections with others. This approach is helpful for repairing relationship difficulties, addressing abandonment or attachment-related concerns and understanding how past relational wounds affect present behavior.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems and offers concrete skills for coping, problem solving and symptom reduction.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be a collaborative effort. Lorraine works with clients to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy provides flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make scheduling easier, support continuity of care through life changes and allow therapy to fit into busy routines while maintaining regular access to support.
